Overview
- Bailey sank 7 three-pointers and finished with 33 points on 13-for-27 shooting, adding 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, including 15 points in the fourth quarter as the lead swelled to 37.
- Cody Williams scored 23 points with 19 before halftime to ignite Utah, and Elijah Harkless delivered career highs of 23 points and 10 assists.
- Short-handed Utah leaned on two-way and 10-day players, with Blake Hinson scoring 14 and contributors Andersson Garcia and Bez Mbeng helping control the tempo.
- Milwaukee committed 20 turnovers and dropped to 28-41 during a slide of 10 losses in 12 games as Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a second straight game with a hyperextended left knee.
- Bailey’s stat line placed him in rare rookie company reportedly reached by Stephen Curry and Jason Kidd, and the victory snapped Utah’s four-game skid before a home date with Philadelphia on Saturday.
