NBA recap: Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 59 goals in Bucks' OT win

Giannis Antetokounmpo collected an NBA season-high 59 points as the Milwaukee Bucks rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat the visiting Detroit Pistons 127-120 in overtime on Wednesday night.

It was Antetokounmpo's ninth 50-plus outing and the second-best of his career after he scored 64 points against Indiana last season.

The two-time MVP shot 21 of 34 from the field, 16 of 17 from the foul line and had 14 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. Brook Lopez provided support with 29 points.

Cade Cunningham had 35 points and 11 assists for the Pistons, while Malik Beasley made eight 3-pointers in his 26-point, 10-rebound game.

Cavaliers 114, 76ers 106

Darius Garland scored 25 points and Donovan Mitchell led the way as Cleveland remained undefeated with a road win over undermanned Philadelphia.

Mitchell finished the game with 23 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists for Cleveland (13-0), marking the NBA's best start since the Golden State Warriors' record-setting 24-game winning streak to start the 2015-16 season.

Philadelphia fought hard without Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (hamstring), but still lost for the ninth time in 11 games. Rookie Jared McCain took advantage of the available playing time by setting career highs in points (34) and assists (10).

Bulls 124, Knicks 123

Coby White made three free throws with 3.2 seconds left to cap a 22-point push, and Chicago rallied after blowing a 22-point lead to beat host New York.

After falling behind 90-68 late in the third quarter, New York closed the second game with a 17-0 run in back-to-back quarters, setting up an intense fourth quarter.

Jalen Brunson, who scored two go-ahead baskets under duress in the final 38 seconds, made room for a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer, but his attempt failed. Had the Knicks pulled off the comeback, it would have been the franchise's biggest second-half rally since a 26-point turnaround in March 2004.

Lakers 128, Grizzlies 123

LeBron James scored 35 points in his third straight triple-double as Los Angeles stayed perfect at home with a win over Memphis.

James added 14 assists and 12 rebounds in his fourth triple-double of the season. Los Angeles rookie Dalton Knecht scored a career-best 19 points on 5 of 5 from 3-point range. The Lakers improved to 6-0 at home, equaling the NBA record, which was also held by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 29 points and Scotty Pippen Jr., Santi Aldama and Marcus Smart added 15 points each, ending the Grizzlies' best three-game winning streak of the season.

Kings 127, Suns 104

De'Aaron Fox scored a game-high 29 points, Kevin Huerter assisted with 22, and Sacramento pulled off a late upset in a road game against Phoenix that led to a win.

Fox, who also found time for a game-high 10 assists, and Domantas Sabonis (11 points, team-high 10 rebounds) recorded double-doubles for the Kings, who beat the Suns for the second straight year after winning 127-118 in overtime on Sunday in Phoenix. Fox shot 11 for 17, Huerter 9 for 16 and Keegan Murray 7 for 11 (17 points) for the Kings, who outscored the visitors 64.1 percent to 37.1 percent.

Josh Okogie had 25 points off the bench to pace the Suns. Devin Booker totaled 18 points, while Ryan Dunn, Tyus Jones and Monte Morris contributed 10 each for Phoenix. Jones also had a team-high eight assists, while Jusuf Nurkic had a game-high 11 rebounds.

Magic 94, Pacers 90

Franz Wagner scored 29 points and Orlando capitalized on a fourth-quarter lead to beat visiting Indiana and improve to 6-0 at home.

Orlando's Goga Bitadze collected 12 points and 12 rebounds, recording his third double-double of the season. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Moritz Wagner each had 10 points in the win as the Magic outscored the Pacers 26-18 in the fourth.

Indiana's Pascal Siakam sank four 3-pointers to highlight his 25-point performance, and Bennedict Mathurin added 23 points and 12 rebounds.

Celtics 139, Nets 114

Jayson Tatum scored 15 of his 36 points in the third quarter as Boston recovered from a slow start and pulled away in the second half to beat Brooklyn in New York.

Jaylen Brown contributed 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Celtics, who shot a season-high 53.8 percent. Payton Pritchard contributed 23 points.

Ziaire Williams scored 23 points to lead the Nets, who still suffered their most lopsided loss of the season. Cam Thomas added 17 points and Dennis Schroder added 16.

Thunder 106, Pelicans 88

Jalen Williams scored a season-high 31 points to lead host Oklahoma City past New Orleans.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 29 points two days after his career-high 45 points. Williams added seven assists, six rebounds and four steals.

Brandon Ingram had 18 points and six assists but had eight turnovers as the Pelicans suffered their sixth straight loss.

Rockets 111, Clippers 103

Jalen Green scored a game-high 21 points while Alperen Sengun posted a double-double and threw down a crucial late dunk that helped Houston hold off visiting Los Angeles.

With the Rockets leading 98-79, the Clippers turned to substitutes Kobe Brown, Jordan Miller and Bones Hyland to cut the deficit to 107-103. But Sengun (13 points, 11 rebounds) delivered his driving dunk before Tari Eason (18 points, 10 rebounds) added another dunk in transition to seal the win.

James Harden led the Clippers with 19 points and seven assists, while Terance Mann contributed 14 points and seven rebounds off the bench.

Trail Blazers 106, Timberwolves 98

Rookie Donovan Clingan had 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocked shots for Portland, which beat Minnesota 122-108 on Tuesday. Dalano Banton scored 13 points off the bench for Portland, which won consecutive games for the first time this season.

Anthony Edwards scored 24 points and had four steals for the Timberwolves, but missed all nine of his 3-point attempts. Last Friday in Minneapolis, he hit nine treys and scored 37 points as the Timberwolves earned a 127-102 victory over Portland.
