Lillard, Antetokounmpo lead the way as Bucks snap 6-game skid with 123-100 victory over Jazz | Sports

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Damian Lillard scored 34 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points and 16 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a six-game skid, beating the Utah Jazz 123-100 on Thursday night. Antetokounmpo was back in action after missing a 116-114 loss at Cleveland on Monday night because of a right adductor strain. The Bucks hadn’t lost six straight games since March 2015. They avoided their first seven-game skid since March 2014, when they dropped eight in a row. Jordan Clarkson had 18 off the bench to lead the Jazz. Utah led 71-70 before the Bucks took command with a 17-1 run late in the third quarter. Lillard and Antetokounmpo combined to score Milwaukee’s first 15 points in that spurt. Takeaways Jazz: Utah entered the night ranked 27th in the NBA in 3-pointers per game (11.3) and 29th in 3-point percentage (30.3%), but the Jazz went 14 of 26 from beyond the arc in the first half to lead 61-57 at the break. They were 3 of 15 in the second half. Bucks: Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers shuffled his lineup by giving Andre Jackson Jr. his first start of the season and moving Gary Trent Jr. to a bench role.

USU’s 34-0 run catapults Aggies to victory over Alcorn State | Sports

LOGAN – With 15 minutes, three seconds left on the first half clock, Utah State’s players went to the bench for the first media timeout of their season opener against Alcorn State. The score? 10-8 in favor of the visiting Braves. Daniel Braster had hit a 3-pointer to give his team their largest lead of the night so far. Alcorn State had thrown a couple of looks at the Utah State defense they’d not expected and decided to talk it over. Braster would actually scored the next points for the Braves too, a nifty layup after he caught a high pass and spun to get a look at the basket. Unfortunately for Alcorn State, those two baskets from their junior forward were separated by more than 12 minutes of in-game time. Not a single Braves player scored in the span between them. They missed 15 consecutive field goal attempts and had 10 turnovers. Utah State, to put it shortly, did not go through a similar scoring drought. The Aggies scored 34 points in that same 15-minute span to craft a 34-0 run. It’s the single longest run by Utah State in a game since it went an a 37-0 burst
