Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Game Player Stats and Ratings for February 12, 2024

Monday’s slate of games was headlined by the marquee matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks were hoping to even the season series after losing 113-107 on Jan. 29 in Mile High City. With the rematch scheduled in Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates wanted some payback.

The home team raced to a 60-44 lead after the first 24 minutes of the game. As expected, Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard guided the Bucks to an already sizable advantage. Milwaukee didn’t have Khris Middleton but showed it was ready to host the defending champs.

Jamal Murray struggled badly and was taken out after only 18 minutes. He was later diagnosed with bilateral tibia inflammation and failed to return for the second half. Murray’s injury was a key reason the Bucks had a dominant first half.

The Milwaukee Bucks piled on the Denver Nuggets’ misery starting the third quarter. Contributions from Bobby Portis, Malik Beasley and Pat Connaughton stretched the lead to 91-63 heading into the final 12 minutes. Nikola Jokic tried his best to carry the Nuggets but didn’t get enough support from his teammates.

The final period was a formality as Nuggets coach Mike Malone emptied his bench early. Denver won the fourth quarter 32-21 but the Bucks earned the 112-95 victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 36 points to go with 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks. Jokic finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
