Lillard, Antetokounmpo lead the way as Bucks snap 6-game skid with 123-100 victory over Jazz

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Damian Lillard scored 34 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points and 16 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a six-game skid, beating the Utah Jazz 123-100 on Thursday night.

Antetokounmpo was back in action after missing a 116-114 loss at Cleveland on Monday night because of a right adductor strain.

The Bucks hadn’t lost six straight games since March 2015. They avoided their first seven-game skid since March 2014, when they dropped eight in a row.

Jordan Clarkson had 18 off the bench to lead the Jazz.

Utah led 71-70 before the Bucks took command with a 17-1 run late in the third quarter. Lillard and Antetokounmpo combined to score Milwaukee’s first 15 points in that spurt.

Jazz: Utah entered the night ranked 27th in the NBA in 3-pointers per game (11.3) and 29th in 3-point percentage (30.3%), but the Jazz went 14 of 26 from beyond the arc in the first half to lead 61-57 at the break. They were 3 of 15 in the second half.

Bucks: Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers shuffled his lineup by giving Andre Jackson Jr. his first start of the season and moving Gary Trent Jr. to a bench role.

Utah led 61-60 when Antetokounmpo picked up his fourth foul with 10:26 left in the third quarter. Antetokounmpo never left the floor until 43.1 seconds remained in the period, but he didn't pick up another foul during that stretch and helped spark the 17-1 run that gave the Bucks some breathing room.

Antetokounmpo had six offensive rebounds to increase his career total to 1,469 and become Milwaukee's career leader. Marques Johnson, now part of the Bucks' television broadcast team, had 1,468 offensive rebounds with the Bucks from 1977-84.

The Jazz are at Sacramento on Saturday. The Bucks are at New York on Friday night.

BOSTON (AP) — Brad Marchand scored a backhand off of his own rebound with 20 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Bruins to a 4-3 win over the Flames on Thursday night.

It was Marchand’s second OT winner of the season and redeemed a penalty he committed that led to a power-play goal during the opening minute of the third period.

Hampus Lindholm, Pavel Zacha and Cole Koepke scored Boston's other goals, and David Pastrnak had two assists. Joonas Korpisalo stopped 34 shots for the Bruins.

Calgary received goals from Tyson Barrie, Yegor Sharangovich and Nazem Kadri. The Flames trailed 3-1 going into the third period before Sharangovich scored with a man advantage and Kadri evened it at 9:55.

Dustin Wolf made 34 saves for the Flames.

Flames: Calgary opened the season with four straight wins, but have only won three games in its last 10.

Bruins: Korpisalo made his fifth start of the season in goal and is now 3-2.

With a shootout looming, Boston’s Elias Lindholm forced a turnover along the boards that led to Marchand netting his fourth goal of the season and the Bruins' third overtime win.

After hitting the post twice in regulation, Marchand recorded the 21st overtime winning goal in his career.

The Flames wrap up a three-game trip at Buffalo on Saturday, the same day the Bruins conclude a two-game homestand against Ottawa.
