The bench has been a sore spot for the Milwaukee Bucks much of the season. Monday night, that bench bounced back and helped the Bucks snap a three-game losing streak, beating the Denver Nuggets 92-74.
Michael Carter-Williams scored 12 points and added nine assists, six rebounds, three blocks and three steals with just two turnovers in 30-minutes of playing time.
Jabari Parker added a season-high 16 points, just two below team scoring leader Greg Monroe who finished with 18.
The Bucks outscored the Nuggets 25-14 in the fourth quarter to break the game open. They held Denver to 37% shooting from the field and forced 24 Nugget turnovers.
The 74-points allowed is a season best for the Bucks, who will travel to San Antonio on Wednesday.
