The Milwaukee Bucks started slow, falling into a 16-2 hole but finished strong and ended their three game losing streak, pulling out a 93-89 win over the Orlando Magic at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Monday night.

Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his first triple-double of the season with 21 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.  Jabari Parker had 22 points, hitting a career-high five three-pointers in seven attempts.

After the slow start, coach Jason Kidd went to his bench quickly and got a big contribution from Michael Beasley, who hit five of six shots and scored 10 points in the first quarter.  Beasley finished with 14 points.

milwaukee-bucks-logo-11One day after announcing that guard Khris Middleton would be lost for six months with a torn hamstring, the Milwaukee Bucks made a trade.

The Bucks sent guard Tyler Ennis to the Houston Rockets in exchange for forward Michael Beasley.

Beasley was the number-two overall pick by Miami in the 2008 NBA Draft.  He has career NBA averages of 13.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 453 games with Miami, Minnesota, Phoenix and Houston.

The 22-year-old Ennis averaged 4.5 points and 2.1 assists in 46 games for the Bucks last season.
