Rally vs. Rockets falls short in Bucks loss

HOUSTON -- The Bucks' five game winning streak came to an end Friday night, and strangely, Milwaukee played some of its best basketball of the whole streak in the loss.  The Rockets rode a 36 point first half to a lead that the visitors could never erase in a 117-111  Houston victory.

Giannis Antetokounmpo topped his career-high of 25 points Wednesday night with 27 Friday night and he added 15 rebounds.  James Harden topped all scorers with 33 for the Rockets.

The Bucks fall to 27-23 for the season and return home to take on the Celtics Saturday night.
