The Greek Freak and the Bucks won their fourth straight game since coach Jason Kidd was fired by beating the Philadelphia 76ers 107-95 on Monday night.

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points and 18 rebounds, and Matthew Dellavedova scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter for the Bucks, who moved to 27-22 and look like a contender again in the Eastern Conference.

Croatian Dario Saric had 19 points to lead the cold-shooting Sixers, who were 2 of 26 from 3-point range a night after going 11 of 29 in a loss at Oklahoma City and the 76ers didn’t have All-Star center Joel Embiid, who sat out to rest.

Kyrie Irving scored 10 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, Jaylen Brown hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining and the struggling Celtics edged the Denver Nuggets 111-110 despite a stellar game from the “Joker”. Serbian Nikola Jokic had a double-double by the first minute of the second half for Denver, finishing with 24 points and 11 rebounds.
