The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Chicago Bulls 112:100 in their away game, registering their 12th victory in a row, but they were also without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who injured his wrist at the beginning of the second quarter in an attempt to block Kobe White. The head of the coaching staff, Mike Budenholzer, said after the match that "he is not sure if Giannis will perform at the All-Star Game in Salt Lake City."
The Greek, however, wrote new pages of history before the injury when he became the best assist in the history of the Wisconsin franchise with a pass to Brook Lopez. He finished the match with two points, seven rebounds and three successful passes.
Nikola Vučević was the best among the Bulls, who recorded their 6th loss in a row, with 22 points and 16 rebounds. He was followed by Zach Levine with 18 and Patrick Williams with 16 points.
"We're not just going to give up," Lavin said. "We don't have the team and personnel to do something like that. This losing streak hurts."
In the winning team, which made the difference in the 1st half, and then only maintained the lead, Brook Lopez was the most effective with 33 points, Jevon Carter had 22, Jrue Holiday and AJ Green each had 15...
In the duel between the 4th and 5th teams in the West, the LA Clippers triumphed against Phoenix in Arizona (116:107).

At home, Josh Okogie was the most effective with 24 points, Devin Booker scored 19, with 9 assists, Deandre Ayton 18, and the reinforcement from Orlando, Terence Ross, 16.
Kevin Durant watched the match in civilian clothes, but coach Monty Williams is excited for his return to the court. "It's a very good thing when you have a player in the team that everyone looks up to. We have two now with Kevin and Chris (Paul). It just creates something that I can't even explain."
