All five Milwaukee starters scored in double figures on Saturday night and the Bucks snapped a six game skid against New Orleans, knocking off the Pelicans 103-92 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
The Bucks (28-38) allowed the Pelicans to hit a franchise-record 17-three pointers in the first meeting in January, a 116-99 Pelicans victory at the Smoothie King Center.
Saturday night, the Bucks held the Pelicans to six-of-29 three-point shooting to pull out the win.
Khris Middleton had 19 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo 18, Jerryd Bayless 17, Greg Monroe 16 and Jabari Parker 15.
Anthony Davis had 29 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Pelicans but hit just eight-of-22 from the field.
Bucks coach Jason Kidd said he will need his bench players to be ready for today’s game in Brooklyn. Khris Middleton played 41 minutes last night, Jerryd Bayless had 40, Parker played 38 minutes and Antetokounmpo played 37.
