Damian Lillard scored 33 points, Bobby Portis recorded a double-double on a season-high 31 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks extended the visiting Detroit Pistons’ franchise-long losing streak to 23 games with a 146-114 rout on Saturday.

Milwaukee never trailed, scoring the game’s first seven points. The Bucks then went on first-quarter runs of 15-6 and 14-2 to build an early, insurmountable lead.

Detroit fell behind by as many as 34 on the second night of a back-to-back. The Bucks expanded their lead to as many as 30 points before halftime.

Milwaukee shot a torrid 50 of 88 from the floor to Detroit’s 43 of 96. The Bucks shot 45.2 percent from outside the 3-point line, outscoring the Pistons by 39 points from long range.

Detroit made just 1 of 10 3-point attempts in the first half while Milwaukee connected on 11 of 25.

Lillard’s 6-of-14 shooting from 3-point range paced the Bucks. Portis’ season-high in scoring included a season-best 4-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc and 11-of-18 overall. He added 12 rebounds to round out his double-double.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, one game removed from setting the franchise single-game scoring record with 64 points, posted 22 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor with eight rebounds and six assists.

Six Bucks scored in double figures overall, with Cameron Payne coming off the bench to notch 11 points. MarJon Beauchamp scored nine of his 11 points in the first quarter, and rookie Andre Jackson Jr. scored a career-high 10 points.

Ten of 13 Bucks to play made two or more field-goal attempts. Eleven Bucks made at least one field goal.

Cade Cunningham and Bojan Bogdanovic led Detroit with 25 and 24 points, respectively. Marvin Bagley III scored 12 points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.

James Wiseman led three Pistons to score in double-figures off the bench with 17 points. Jaden Ivey added 13 points and Marcus Sasser scored 11.
