The Houston Rockets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 122–115 on November 9 at Fiserv Forum, with Kevin Durant leading the visitors with 31 points while Alperen Sengun added 23. Giannis Antetokounmpo paced Milwaukee with 37 points, supported by R.J. Rollins's 19, but the Bucks' defense proved insufficient down the stretch. Houston's fourth-quarter explosion—40 points—proved decisive, outscoring Milwaukee 40–30 in the final frame after trailing by four heading into the period. The Rockets shot 53.3 percent from the field and dominated the glass with 50 rebounds to Milwaukee's 27, a critical advantage that fueled second-chance opportunities. Both teams committed turnovers at elevated rates, Houston with 17 and Milwaukee with 13, though Houston's offensive rating of 126.8 exceeded the Bucks' defensive rating of 120.3. Milwaukee's 13 three-pointers and 55.7 field-goal percentage proved insufficient against Houston's depth and rebounding prowess. The victory extends Houston's road resilience while exposing Milwaukee's vulnerability in late-game execution.
