NEW ORLEANS (AP) --- Ryan Rollins made a career-high seven 3-pointers and
scored 27 points to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the New Orleans Pelicans
139-118 on Friday night for their third straight victory and sixth in seven
games.
Playing without injured star Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks pulled away in
the fourth quarter to improve to 24-30. Antetokounmpo has been sidelined four
weeks by a strained right calf.
Bucks newcomer Cam Thomas, a former LSU star, had 27 points in 21 minutes off
the bench, and Kevin Porter added 25 points. Rollins was 7 of 10 on 3s and had
six assists, four steals and two blocks. The Bucks were coming off a victory at
defending champion Oklahoma City before the All-Star break.
Zion Williamson led New Orleans with 32 points in the first game of home
back-to-back, while scoring leader Trey Murphy sat out because of a sore right
shoulder. The Pelicans dropped to 15-42.
Rollins had 16 points in the first half to help Milwaukee take a 71-65 lead.
Williamson had 21 points in the half.
The Bucks took a 103-96 advantage into the fourth. After the Pelicans cut it to
108-102 on Williamson's layup, the Bucks pulled away with a 14-4 run. Pete
Nance hit two 3s and a layup during the run.
