Bucks 130, 76ers 110: O.J. Mayo led a balanced attack with 25 points as visiting Milwaukee handed host Philadelphia its 11th straight defeat.

Seven players finished in double figures for the Bucks, who established a season high in points against the NBA's worst defense. Ersan Ilyasova had 20 points while Ramon Sessions added 16 and Khris Middleton and Brandon Knight each scored 15 in the rout.

Thaddeus Young scored 22 of his 28 points in the second half for the 76ers, who have been outscored by an average of 20.3 points over the course of their skid. Philadelphia has dropped 10 straight home games for the first time since the 1996-97 season.

Six points from Ilyasova helped the Bucks build a 30-28 advantage after one and Giannis Antetokounmpo went to work to stretch the lead early in the second. The 19-year-old rookie set up a Mayo 3-pointer, hit one of his own a short time later and added a pair of acrobatic blocks on the same Philadelphia possession to lead Milwaukee to a 73-44 halftime advantage.

The Bucks didn't relent in the third, as Mayo knocked down a wide-open 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 5:41 remaining - making him 5-for-5 from long range - en route to a 106-76 Milwaukee lead entering the fourth. Mayo added an exclamation point, knocking down his seventh 3-pointer of the night with 2:58 remaining as Milwaukee rested its starters for the entire final quarter.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Milwaukee's 73 first-half points were a season high. ... 76ers head coach Brett Brown lambasted his team during a television interview at the half, suggesting his players had "given up" and were getting "embarrassed on the boards." Philadelphia was outrebounded 29-13 in the opening half and 47-28 for the game. ... Young became the first player since Ron Harper in 1994 to record at least 25 points, seven assists and six steals in back-to-back games.
