The Denver Nuggets eased to a 101-90 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA, ending a five-game losing streak.
The visitors made a strong start, leading by nine points at the end of the first quarter, while extending their advantage at the beginning of the second half.
Kenneth Faried continued his recent strong form, adding 26 points, while Wilson Chandler and JJ Hickson combined for 29.
The Bucks managed to cut the deficit to five points early in the fourth quarter following a good spell from Caron Butler and John Henson, but Faried responded to put the game beyond the hosts.
The result leaves the Nuggets with a 25-28 record, seven wins off a playoff place, while the Bucks' 10-44 record remains the worst in the league.
