Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and rookie Malcolm Brogdon made two free throws with eight seconds left to lift the host Milwaukee Bucks over the Oklahoma City Thunder, 98-94, on Monday night.

With the Bucks leading, 96-94, Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook drove the lane but Tony Snell deflected the ball off the Thunder guard’s leg and the ball went out of bounds. The referees initially signaled the ball went off Snell, but after a video review, they reversed the call and gave Milwaukee possession.

Brogdon then was fouled and made both free throws to seal the victory.

Westbrook led the Thunder with 30 points and six assists.

at Cleveland 90, New Orleans 82: LeBron James scored 26 points and the Cavaliers won for the eighth time in their last nine games. With Cleveland ahead, 84-82, with 2 minutes 56 seconds to play, James scored six points and blocked a shot over a 1:47 stretch. Anthony Davis had 20 points and 17 rebounds for the Pelicans, who had won four games in a row.
