Bucks Beat Short-Handed 76ers for Fourth Straight Win

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to a 123-109 victory over the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers, marking their fourth consecutive win. Antetokounmpo's performance included 34 points and 15 rebounds, while Damian Lillard added 25 points despite early struggles. The Bucks improved their record to 24-17, continuing to rise in the Eastern Conference standings under new coach Doc Rivers. Meanwhile, the 76ers, missing key players like Joel Embiid and Paul George, extended their losing streak to six games, with Tyrese Maxey scoring a team-high 37 points. Philadelphia's roster challenges were evident as they fielded a depleted lineup, further exacerbated by injuries. The Bucks capitalized on the 76ers' lack of depth, particularly in the fourth quarter, outscoring them to secure the win.
