Bucks Win Third Straight, 139-118 Over Pelicans Behind Rollins’ 7 Threes

With Giannis Antetokounmpo out four weeks with a calf strain, Milwaukee’s depth carried the offense.

Overview

  • Ryan Rollins scored 27 points on 7-of-10 from deep, adding six assists, four steals and two blocks.
  • Cam Thomas delivered 27 points in 21 minutes off the bench, and Kevin Porter Jr. finished with 25.
  • A 14-4 fourth-quarter surge, sparked by two Pete Nance threes and a layup, put the game out of reach.
  • The Bucks shot 59.8% from the field in one of their most efficient outings of the season.
  • Zion Williamson led New Orleans with 32 points, but the Pelicans, without Trey Murphy (sore right shoulder), dropped to 15-42 as Milwaukee moved to 24-30 and has won six of seven.
