Two nights after a devastating loss, the Milwaukee Bucks responded with a resounding victory over the Sacramento Kings, winning 130-115 at Fiserv Forum. Center Brook Lopez praised the team’s resilience, stating, “Just a great response.” The Bucks dominated the game, scoring 47 points in the first quarter, nearly a season-high, and maintaining control throughout.
Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard played a crucial role in the victory, with Antetokounmpo recording his fifth triple-double of the season and Lillard contributing 24 points.
