The Oklahoma City Thunder ( 22 - 10 ) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks ( 12 - 21 ) 131 - 123 on Tuesday night . In an anticipated blowout , the Bucks kept this game with an unlikely recipe . Milwaukee came into this game as the worst rebounding team in the NBA and actually outrebounded the Thunder , who rank second in the NBA in rebounding . The game was played at an incredible fast pace , as the 24 - second shot clock did n't even need to be on . The difference in the game was the free - throw shooting , as the Thunder went 37 - for - 40 from the charity stripe , while the Bucks went just 15 - for - 22 . Milwaukee came into this game as a huge underdog , but held their own to keep it close throughout . This was one of the best offensive performances that the Bucks have had all season and it 's a shame they could n't keep the Thunder off the free - throw line . Khris Middleton has been fantastic lately and that form continued here , as he scored a career - high 36 points in the loss . Michael Carter-Williams also played well , as he tallied 19 points , nine assists and nine rebounds in the defeat . This goes down as a loss , but Milwaukee did some good things here that they can definitely build upon for future endeavors . The Bucks next game will be on Thursday against the Pacers in Indiana . Oklahoma City has been the second - best offense in the NBA this season and they improved on that scoring average tonight . Per usual , Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant were the stars of the show and put up very similar lines . In fact , Westbrook totaled 27 points , seven rebounds , seven assists and five steals , while Durant amassed 26 points , six rebounds and eight assists . Those two also went a combined 20 - for - 21 from the free - throw line and continue to carry this team . Cameron Payne also had his best game as a pro , as he scored a career - high 16 points off the bench in just 16 minutes . The bench was good all - around , as they scored 53 points in the win . If the bench can score 40 - plus regularly with Durant and Westbrook doing what they do , this team will be impossible to beat . The Thunder will look to continue their good play against the struggling Phoenix Suns on Thursday .
