Khris Middleton did most of the heavy lifting as the Milwaukee Bucks thumped the Timberwolves 130-105 Wednesday afternoon.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined with a sore knee for a sixth straight game, Middleton scored 27 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and passed out seven assists.
The Bucks had six players in double figures and had no trouble taking care of Minnesota.
The game was moved from a nighttime tip-off to 3:30 p-m due to worries about possible riots following the police shooting of a black man in a Twin Cities suburb., and no fans were allowed in the stands.
The Bucks play at Atlanta against the Hawks Thursday.
