Thanks to a change to their starting lineup and another pair of outstanding performances from Damian Lillard and Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks ended a six game losing streak with a 123-100 victory Thursday night over the Utah Jazz. Milwaukee altered its starting group for the first time this season, and interestingly, second year wing Andre Jackson Jr. was to replace Gary Trent Jr. Jackson, had 7 point, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 rebounds in 28 minutes. “He brings energy,” Giannis said to Jackson’s presence in the starting lineup. “He plays good, guards the best player. We play faster. He was incredible today. We definitely need that. We need that spark. We need to play with that energy. Jackson’s energy aided both Lillard, who finished with a game high 34 points, and Giannis, who had 31. It marked the third time in the first eight games of the season both players have scored at least 30 points, the most by any duo in the NBA this season.
