Golden State's horror form on the road has continued, thrashed 128-111 by the Bucks in Milwaukee.

The defending NBA champions are 2-12 on their travels to leave them 14-14 and 10th in the Western Conference standings on Tuesday night.

The Warriors have allowed at least 114 points in every away game this season.

Milwaukee improved to 20-7 for second in the Eastern Conference, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo with 30 points while Bobby Portis finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds in a matchup of the last two champions.

Antetokounmpo's 15th 30-point outing of the season came despite just 9-for-26 shooting from the field. He also had 12 rebounds and even got nailed with a technical after a second 10-second violation at the free-throw line.

The Greek went 11 for 17 at the line and his teammates made all 15 of their foul shots as the Bucks ran up a 26-15 advantage in free-throw points over a Warriors team that saw four players and coach Steve Kerr pick up technicals.

Stephen Curry had a team-high 20 points - and one of the "T's" - for Golden State, while Jordan Poole added 18 and Klay Thompson 14.

In Philadelphia, Joel Embiid scored 31 points, James Harden had 21 points and 15 assists, and the 76ers cruised to a 123-103 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Tobias Harris also scored 21 points for the Sixers (15-12), fifth in the East, who have won three straight to start a seven-game homestand.

Three other players reached double figures in scoring, including Australian Matisse Thybulle who added 15 points.

Two nights after Embiid scored 53 in a victory over the Charlotte Hornets, Harden and Harris took advantage of Sacramento's defensive focus on the big man.

Philadelphia led 80-55 at halftime, the most points they've scored in a first half all season. They shot 51.2 per cent for the game and recorded a season-high 34 assists.

Domantas Sabonis had a double-double (22 points, 10 rebounds) for the Kings, his fifth in a row.
