Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 29-point, eight-rebound effort in only 19 minutes, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Brooklyn Nets to snap a seven-game losing streak, their longest slide since Jan. 2014.
On top of getting the Bucks back in the win column, Antetokounmpo also made history on Saturday night. Midway through the third quarter, Antetokounmpo knocked down a corner 3, which made him the 42nd player to score at least 21,000 points in the NBA. According to the Bucks, Antetokounmpo was the sixth youngest player to record 21,000 points.

Saturday’s game also marked the return of Kevin Porter Jr., who missed 19 of the Bucks’ first 20 games. Porter started at point guard for the Bucks in the season opener and scored 10 points in the first nine minutes before spraining his left ankle and leaving the game. While recovering from his ankle sprain, Porter tore the meniscus in his right knee, which required surgery to repair.
On Saturday, Porter started at point guard alongside Ryan Rollins, who has been one of the league’s best breakout stories of the season after taking over for Porter, and put up 13 points, four rebounds and six assists on a 25-minute limit in his first game back.
The win also inched the Bucks (9-12) closer to .500, which can be largely credited to the return of Antetokounmpo, who recently returned from a four-game absence due to a left adductor strain, and Porter.
