Antetokounmpo had a giant game to defeat the Washington Wizards (124-114) in a hard-fought clash. He gave his all, and left on the table 42 points on 62.5% shooting from the field (15/24).
In addition, he recorded a triple-double with 12 rebounds and 11 assists. He had never before in his career recorded a 40-point triple-double, and this season it had not been seen either, with the record being Jokic’s 37 points against the Mavericks and Anteto‘s own 37 points against Indiana.
Giannis is the clear leader of the Milwaukee Bucks. They started the season horribly with that terrible 2-8 record in the first 10 games.
He pointed to Doc Rivers and his stars, who have gradually picked up the pace. After 18 games, the opening night against the Sixers, they are back to a positive record (10-9) on the season.
It’s not just about Antetokounmpo. It’s also about Damian Lillard at his side, with a great joint performance against the Wizards.
The point guard finished with 25 points and 10 assists thanks to a brilliant 5/10 from three-point range. And it’s the third time they’ve both reached at least 25+10. No other duo in history has done it.
