Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points and a season-high 19 rebounds, Khris Middleton recorded his second career triple-double and the Milwaukee Bucks trounced the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-93 on Sunday.

Middleton had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first triple-double since Jan. 20, 2018.

Milwaukee broke open a close game in the second half as Oklahoma City (49-21) fell out of the Western Conference lead. The reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets (50-21) didn´t play Sunday and moved a half-game ahead of the Thunder.

Oklahoma City posted its lowest point total and shot its lowest percentage (.371) of the season. Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points – the first time since Jan. 19 he was held below 20 – and sat out the entire fourth quarter after the Bucks had built a lopsided lead.

This was the first time that Antetokounmpo, Middleton, and seven-time All-NBA guard Damian Lillard were on the court for the same game for the Bucks since a victory against Dallas on February 3. They started with their preferred lineup of Antetokounmpo, Lillard, Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Malik Beasley for the first time since a loss at Portland on January 31.

Because of her left ankle sprain, Middleton had missed 16 straight games. On Thursday, she also missed a game against the Brooklyn Nets because of injury management. Lillard missed two games in early February due to an injured left ankle as well. Due to a left hamstring injury, Antetokounmpo missed two games before making a comeback on Thursday.

Milwaukee had seven players score in double figures. Bobby Portis had 15, Lopez 14, Lillard and Pat Connaughton 11 apiece and Jae Crowder 10.

Josh Giddey scored 19 and Jalen Williams added 18 for the Thunder.

The Bucks led 48-47 at halftime and broke open the game by outscoring Oklahoma City 18-2 in the first six-plus minutes of the third quarter. Oklahoma City didn´t make its first basket of the third period until Williams converted a layup with 5:38 left that ended a 16-0 Milwaukee spurt.

Oklahoma City´s Lu Dort appeared to take a hit to the head under the basket as Williams scored, causing the swingman to leave the game.

The Bucks ended up winning the third period 34-17 as the Thunder matched their lowest point total for any quarter all season.
