MILWAUKEE (AP) — The formula for success in Milwaukee doesn’t always have to revolve around the high-scoring duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.

Eric Bledsoe matched his season high with 27 points and Antetokounmpo added 15 as the Bucks rolled to a 115-92 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

Middleton, the team’s second-leading scorer at 18.5 points per game, was inactive for personal reasons. Antetokounmpo’s output was 13 below his average, although he added a team-high eight rebounds.

“For other guys to step up when we needed, it’s always a good sign,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “We talk about being prepared for your opportunities, and different guys either get bigger opportunities, or get to play that haven’t been playing.”

Milwaukee countered an opening basket with nine consecutive points and did not trail after that. The Bucks led 30-21 after one quarter, 56-45 at halftime and then opened the third period with a 19-4 run.

Bledsoe’s 3-pointer put Milwaukee up 75-49 with 7:25 left in the third.

“If you’re not making shots, you have to defend. I thought we guarded the 3-point line in stretches but not good enough,” Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. “They play a different style so we have to get out and guard the 3-point line, but we did not do a good job of that tonight.”

Blake Griffin had 31 points and Reggie Jackson scored 15 for the Pistons, who lost their second straight after a five-game winning streak.

The Bucks, with the second-best record (16-7) in the East behind Toronto, improved to 12-2 at home. They are 4-5 on the road.

Milwaukee was playing its first game since Saturday, while the Pistons were playing their fourth in six days.

“When you’re in the middle part of that playoff race, everybody is fighting for something,” Casey said. “These next gauntlet games will be like that. Our fight level has to go up. I thought that group at the end (showed fight). The first group showed it in stretches, but we have to come out of the chute with the same fight.”

Antetokounmpo was limited to six points in the first half on 3-of-8 shooting, but Bledsoe picked up the slack with 18 points, aggressively going to the basket.

Stephen Curry scores 42 points– Stephen Curry made nine 3-pointers and scored 42 points, Kevin Durant added 25 and the Golden State Warriors came back to face a very different looking Cleveland team for the first time since winning another NBA title, and beat the Cavaliers 129-105.

Curry scored nine points in less than a minute midway through the fourth quarter to help the Warriors pull away for their eighth straight over their former Finals rivals.

Curry added nine rebounds, seven assists and appears completely healed after missing 11 games with a strained groin.
