Bucks 92, Celtics 85: Brandon Knight had 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists as host Milwaukee halted an 11-game losing streak.

O.J. Mayo led the way with 22 points as the Bucks used an offensive burst early in the second quarter and a defensive stand early in the fourth to end their longest skid in 16 years. John Henson chipped in with 13 points and 13 rebounds while Giannis Antetokounmpo added 10 in a reserve role.

Jared Sullinger's 21 points and 14 rebounds paced the Celtics, who shot just 4-of-19 from beyond the arc. Jordan Crawford and Jeff Green each added 18 points.

Down by eight after one quarter, Milwaukee put together an 18-2 run - keyed by a pair of long Mayo 3-pointers - to surge ahead before settling for a 47-41 halftime edge. The Celtics kept pace for most of the third quarter - making it a one-score game on Crawford's 3-pointer with 3:29 left - but Antetokounmpo hit a 3-pointer late in the shot clock and added an emphatic dunk on the next possession as the Bucks led 70-61 entering the fourth.

That was as close as the Celtics would get the rest of the way, as they opened the final quarter by missing their first nine shots - all but two from outside 20 feet - while Milwaukee extended the advantage to 17. Crawford had four of Boston's eight points during a mini-run midway through the fourth, but Knight countered with a long 3-pointer at the end of the shot clock to push the lead to double digits and end the Celtics' hope of a comeback.
