Bucks, Clippers Extend Winning Streaks to 6 Games

The Milwaukee Bucks secured a 136-111 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, marking their sixth consecutive win, with Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the charge with 28 points and 11 rebounds. Despite their loss, the Pelicans, hampered by injuries, were competitive into the third quarter, with Lester Quinones scoring 21 points. Milwaukee's win is crucial as they seek to secure the No. 5 seed in the playoffs, needing to win at least one of their upcoming games against the Detroit Pistons. Meanwhile, the Pelicans suffered their fifth straight defeat and will face the Miami Heat next. The Bucks' victory also coincides with the Pacers clinching the No. 4 seed, indicating Milwaukee will begin the playoffs on the road. Antetokounmpo's triple-double streak ended at three games as the team prepares for their final two regular-season matches.
