The wink said it all.
When Giannis Antetokounmpo drilled his career-high fifth 3-pointer on Thursday night, it's understandable that he had to give the crowd a little something extra as he retreated back on defense.
As if the home team didn't already give their fans enough in the most anticipated game of the season.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks put on a master class in defensive dominance and offensive excellence and the sold-out Fiserv Forum crowd ate it up. On Thursday night, Milwaukee appeared to be a varsity troupe devouring an awkward, uncoordinated JV team - except that junior team was home to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, two of the most talented basketball players in the world.
