Antetokounmpo scored 32 points and Terry came off the bench to score 11 points in the second half in the Bucks’ 111-104 victory over the Orlando Magic. Still, the game stayed close until Antetokounmpo’s three-point play made it 107-100 with 45.7 seconds left.
Croatian Mario Hezonja led Orlando with 23 points and French Evan Fournier added 20 for the losing side.
Czech Tomas Satoransky is starting while star guard John Wall recovers from knee surgery and he stepped up with a career-high 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting and the Washington Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 101-90. However, he finished the game injured after being fouled hard.
German icon Dirk Nowitzki had a season-high 22 points and the last-place Dallas Mavericks rallied to beat the Lakers 130-123.
Spaniard Nikola Mirotic scored 21 points and grabbed 16 boards as the Pelicans recovered after blowing a 28-point lead to beat Brooklyn 138-128 in two overtimes.
Last but not least the Denver Nuggets used an extended second-half run to take control in a 123-113 victory over the Phoenix Suns as Serb Nikola Jokic had 21 points, nine rebounds and eight assists against Croatian Dragan Bender who finished the night with 23 points and eight rebounds for the Suns.
Here are last night’s results and the euro-scorers.
