MILWAUKEE — \u2014 Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> had 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assists as the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> snapped a four-game skid by beating the Utah Jazz<\/a> 113-99 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo did all that while playing just 27 minutes as the Bucks continue to monitor the two-time MVP\u2019s workload in his return from injury.<\/a> Milwaukee was playing for the third time since Antetokounmpo came back from a right calf strain<\/a> that caused him to miss 15 straight games.<\/p>\n

Utah has lost eight of its last nine games. The Jazz had ended a seven-game skid Thursday by winning 122-112<\/a> at Washington.<\/p>\n

The Jazz were missing leading scorer Lauri Markkanen<\/a> because of impingement in his right hip and Isaiah Collier<\/a> due to personal reasons. Multiple other Utah players already have been ruled out for the season.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee\u2019s Kevin Porter Jr<\/a>. missed a second straight game with swelling in his right knee. Before the game, Bucks coach Doc Rivers had no update on when Porter might return to the lineup.<\/p>\n

The Bucks broke open a tight game by closing on a 13-2 run. Kyle Kuzma<\/a> scored nine of his 18 points during that game-ending spurt and made a pair of 3-pointers to close the game.<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo wasn’t the only Milwaukee player who flirted with a triple-double.<\/p>\n

Ryan Rollins<\/a> had 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Ousmane Dieng<\/a> had 11 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n

Keyonte George<\/a> scored 22 points and Brice Sensabaugh<\/a> added 17 off the bench for Utah, which shot just 34.4% from the floor and went 12 of 49 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Jazz: Host the Golden State Warriors<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Bucks: Host the Orlando Magic<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n
