Following a disappointing loss against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks needed to take advantage of a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers to get back on track.
On the whole, that’s exactly what they did too, in spite of entering the game without two of their regular starters as Malcolm Brogdon and Khris Middleton were both ruled out through injury.
Like a true superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo more than made up for that by carrying the share of the workload those two teammates may otherwise have helped him with.
Antetokounmpo asserted himself with true aggressiveness in getting to the rim, and the result was him also living at the charity stripe, where he attempted 21 free throws.
