Five games were played tonight (light for Friday) in the NBA with the focus of Golden State's defeat to Milwaukee and Yannis Antocompo.
Memphis extended its winning streak to 11 and retaliated against Minnesota, and Oklahoma City surprised Brooklyn.
Milwaukee (17:27) - Golden State (11:30) 99: 118
The champion got back her coach Mike Bodenholzer who left the Corona protocol after an absence from four games, and she made life easy for him in his return game to the lines.
Yannis Antocompo recorded his third triple-double of the season and 28 of his career - 30 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists en route to a home win over Golden State.
Chris Middleton assisted with 23 points, Bobby Fortis added 20 and Grayson Allen 15 for the Bucks.

It was a one-sided game from the first moment.
Milwaukee has led throughout the game, going down to the half with a 38:77 lead and inflicting a fourth loss to the Warriors in the last five games.
Andrew Wiggins led the loser with 16 points, Steph Kerry scored 12 points and Clay Thompson 11.
Memphis (14:30) - Minnesota (22:20) 108: 116
The last time they met, on Nov. 20, Memphis suffered its biggest defeat of the season, 138: 95 to Minnesota.
So tonight the fiery Grizzlies achieved their revenge, albeit in a close game, but the bottom line is with an 11th straight win.
Desmond Bain scored 21 points, Jaren Jackson added 20, Jah Morant finished with 16 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds and John Concher contributed 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds.

The game was close throughout as neither team was able to open a double-digit gap.
Minnesota led 105: 106 less than 3 minutes into the game, but then Memphis went out for a 0:11 run that closed out the game.
The losers featured Anthony Edwards (30 points), DiAngelo Russell (20 points) and Carl Anthony Towns (25 points).
Brooklyn (15:26) - Oklahoma City (27:14) 130: 109
The Nets would have looked tired and off and in the absence of Kevin Durant, were surprised at home by Oklahoma City, who halted their five-loss streak with their first 2022 win.
Shay Gilges Alexander excelled with 33 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, Lou Dort added 27 and rookie Josh Gidi contributed 19 points in a game in which the Thunder led by a comfortable lead throughout.

James Harden finished with 26 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds for the Hunts, who failed to find enough energy to win after the big 112: 138 over East Chicago lead the night before.
Of course Kyrie Irving did not play, because he is not vaccinated and is not allowed to participate in the team's home games.
Other results:
New Orleans (26:16) - LA Clippers (22:21) 89: 113
Denver (19:21) - Portland (25:16) 108: 140
