Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis Also Contribute Double-Doubles
The Milwaukee Bucks extended their winning streak to four games with a 123-104 victory over the Houston Rockets at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way for the Bucks with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Jrue Holiday added 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Bobby Portis contributed 16 points and 12 rebounds.
The Bucks jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. They led by as many as 25 points in the second half before coasting to the victory.

Antetokounmpo Continues to Impress
Antetokounmpo has been on a tear lately, averaging 32.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists over his last five games.
The two-time MVP is playing at an MVP level again this season, and he is a big reason why the Bucks are one of the favorites to win the NBA championship.
Holiday and Portis Provide Balance
Holiday and Portis have been key contributors for the Bucks all season long.
Holiday is a do-it-all guard who can score, rebound, and defend. Portis is a versatile forward who can play both inside and outside.
The Bucks are a much better team when Holiday and Portis are playing well, and they both had big games against the Rockets.
Bucks Continue to Roll
The Bucks have won four straight games and are now 18-6 on the season.
They are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, and they are starting to look like a legitimate contender for the championship.
The Bucks will look to continue their winning streak when they take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.
