Milwaukee, meanwhile, dropped to 6-4 and is in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Durant and Antetokounmpo won&#8217;t meet again until April, but it should be another exciting matchup the next time they face off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A pair of star veterans put on a show on Sunday.
