What a difference a year makes.
The Bucks, who were battling the Philadelphia 76ers for the NBA's worst record last year, went to Philly and shot 54% from the floor in a 97-77 win. Milwaukee shot 47% from three point range, compared to 8% for the Sixers (5-29). It's the Bucks' fifth consecutive road win.
Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton scored 18 points a piece, with Middleton's 18 coming on just nine shots from the floor. O.J. Mayo came off the bench to score 15, while Zaza Pachulia had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
The Bucks are back over .500 at 19-18 as the season approaches the halfway mark.
