The Oklahoma City Thunder struck again on Sunday, as they extended their win streak to three games with a decisive victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in enemy territory via a score of 121-105.
The Bolts’ win at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee has also concluded their three-game road trip on a positive note. Before the Bucks game, the Thunder defeated the Boston Celtics, 118-112, last Wednesday and the Detroit Pistons, 113-107, on Saturday.
In addition, the Thunder are now just a win away in their next road game from setting a new franchise record for most wins in a row away from home.

The Oklahoma City Thunder took care of business against the Bucks
Oklahoma did not have an ideal start to the Bucks game, as the Thunder trailed Milwaukee by two points at the end of the opening quarter. But they woke up in the second period, where they outscored the Bucks by a huge margin, 29-15. That trend continued in the third quarter to give the Thunder a comfortable 18-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander paced the Thunder with another big performance, scoring 31 points with eight assists and two rebounds while Isaiah Hartenstein had a double-double of 24 points and 12 boards, as Oklahoma City weathered a triple-double effort by Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Thunder are now 56-12, 13 games in front of the rest of the Western Conference. Coming up next for OKC is a meeting at home on Wednesday against the struggling Philadelphia 76ers.
