The Milwaukee Bucks' 16-game win streak is over, and it wasn't for lack of opportunity.
The Philadelphia 76ers erased an 18-point deficit to stun the Bucks 133-130 on the road on Saturday, giving Milwaukee its first loss since Jan. 21. The Bucks remain first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 45-18, a half-game ahead of the Boston Celtics.
Philadelphia appeared on the ropes midway through the third quarter, when the Bucks opened up a 95-77 lead late in the third quarter. The Sixers responded with a 23-6 run to get back within one early in the fourth quarter, then rode James Harden to the win. Harden either made or assisted on nine of the Sixers' 12 field goals in the fourth quarter and finished with 38 points on 11-of-26 shooting with 10 assists and nine rebounds.
