We all know Giannis Antetokounmpo is special, but last night epitomized it even further (if that was even possible). His 55 points served as a new career-high and catapulted the Bucks past the Wizards, 123-113.
Despite Brook Lopez getting in foul trouble early on yet again in this one, Milwaukee didn’t crumble in the opening frame. Led by ten points from Giannis, the Bucks clung to a 32-28 advantage after 12 minutes of action.
The Bucks wouldn’t be able to continue the momentum they saw in the first, as the Wizards were pesky throughout the second, forcing Milwaukee to work on multiple possessions.
