MILWAUKEE -- It was the Giannis and Jabari show Thursday night for the Milwaukee Bucks.Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and Parker added 28 in leading Milwaukee to a 108-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls.Milwaukee led the entire game and held a 24-point advantage early in the fourth quarter but had to hold on to snap a three-game losing streak, its longest of the season.Antetokounmpo has totaled 88 points and 35 rebounds in his last three games, and Parker has reached at least 27 points in four of his past five.If were just being judged on points, then theyre playing really well, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said. But its not all about points. Unfortunately, thats all you guys write about. Its a team game, but it comes down to winning and doing your job. Both of those guys did their jobs tonight.Chicago lost for the fifth time in seven games and dropped its third straight on the road despite 21 points from Jimmy Butler and 20 from Dwyane Wade. The Bulls also got 19 points from Taj Gibson in the opener of a home-and-home between the teams on back-to-back nights.The Bucks went up 95-71 on a dunk by Antetokounmpo with 10:01 remaining. Chicago cut the deficit in half by scoring the next 12 points, with 10 of them coming from Wade. His two free throws trimmed the margin to 95-83 with 7:14 to go.Milwaukee led by at least eight the rest of the way, marking just the second time this season the Bucks never trailed in a game.I think everybody did a great job keeping the lead, Antetokounmpo said. Its hard to keep a lead for 24 minutes, for a half. Its hard sometimes.The Bucks biggest lead of the night was 27 on a dunk by Tony Snell that made it 58-31 with 3:40 left in the second quarter.The advantage was 64-45 at halftime, as Antetokounmpo (20), Parker (17) and Mirza Teletovic (10) combined to outscore Chicago by two points.Milwaukee shot 80 percent (8 for 10) from 3-point range while Chicago was 1 for 9 (11.1 percent) from beyond the arc in the first two quarters.They were too comfortable early, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. We didnt want to give them dare shots, we wanted to keep them out of the paint, and they were hitting them.TIP-INSBulls: Rajan Rondo returned to the starting lineup after missing Tuesdays game against Minnesota because of a right ankle sprain. ...

A 10-man Sydney FC have avoided their first A-League defeat and their second to Melbourne City in 10 days, saved by a late Bobo penalty that cancelled out Fernando Brandans first-half screamer.The Sky Blues, out for revenge after being bettered by their interstate rivals in last weeks FFA Cup final, mostly controlled Friday nights rematch at ANZ Stadium but again lacked the attacking ruthlessness to put City away.What they did do is secure an important point that keeps them undefeated in 10 weeks and six points clear ahead of John van t Schips men at the summit.The 1-1 stalemate lacked a crowd - 14,668 turned up - but wasnt short of drama as Sydney had a goal rightly disallowed and a penalty appeal waved away, while Brandan offered this weekends diving antics when he hit the deck after Rhyan Grant made contact with his head in the second half.All that was before Josh Brillante was given his marching orders 20 minutes from time following a second yellow card for a late challenge on Neil Kilkenny.How Sydney were not ahead at the break was anyones guess as they moved forward dangerously and opened up Citys vulnerable defence with ease.The industrious Grant could have scored more than once and would have nicked the opener had his strike not been disallowed after it caught Bobos hip in an offside position on the way to the net.Perhaps spurred by the near-concession, Citys Nicolas Colazo took a brilliant free kick that hit the far post as Sky Blues goalkeeper Danny Vukovic watched helplessly.The Argentine continued his superb form to set countryman Brandan up for an opening goal that was just as stunning as it was unlikely.Against the run of play, Brandan ran on to Colazos through ball, took a deft touch surrounded by Sky Blues shirts and blasted a brutal strike from outside the box.Sydney, behind for just the second time this season, scrambled for an equaliser that would have promptly arrived only for Dean Bouzanis to smartly deny Milos Dimitrijevics free kick.Coach Graham Arnold was then incensed as cries for a penalty were waved away when Seb Ryall went down inside the box, his frustration only swelling when referee Kris Griffiths-Jones called back play for a foul on Bobo while Sydney had a clear vantage point.Arnold, also frustrated by Filip Holoskos ineffectiveness, dragged his marquee off on the hour mark and installed the lively Bernie Ibini.When Brillante copped his second yellow card on 73 minutes, they chased they game a man down and Bobo finally found joy by milking a soft penalty after Jakobsen grabbed his shirt.Despite Tim Cahills introduction with six minutes remaining, there would be no breakthrough for either team.A 10-man Sydney FC have avoided their first A-League defeat and their second to Melbourne City in 10 days, saved by a late Bobo penalty that cancelled out Fernando Brandans first-half screamer.The Sky Blues, out for revenge after being bettered by their interstate rivals in last weeks FFA Cup final, mostly controlled Friday nights rematch at ANZ Stadium but again lacked the attacking ruthlessness to put City away.Whaat they did do is secure an important point that keeps them undefeated in 10 weeks and six points clear ahead of John van t Schips men at the summit.dddddddddddd.The 1-1 stalemate lacked a crowd -
