MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 31 points and the NBA-leading Milwaukee Bucks hit a season-high 26 3-pointers in a 139-117 win over the Orlando Magic, extending their winning streak to 16 games.
Milwaukee's streak is the longest in the NBA since the Phoenix Suns won 18 in a row early last season.
The Bucks' run is their longest since winning 18 straight in the 2019-20 season.
Milwaukee's franchise record for consecutive wins is 20, in its 1970-71 championship season.
