The victory padded the Thunder’s home win to a conference-best 22 victories while also improving to a 39-9 overall.
Ryan Rollins bannered the Bucks with 18 points as Milwaukee (26-22) played without both Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard (groin) for a fourth straight loss.
The Bucks aim to end their skid by visiting the Charlotte Hornets (12-35) next while the Thunder host the Phoenix Suns (25-23) in their upcoming match.
