The Giannis Antetokounmpo Game. That’s all. Behind his new career-high of 55 points, the Bucks knocked off the Washington Wizards, 123-113.
Fueled by ten points from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks were able to construct a 32-28 advantage after one quarter of play. This was despite some early foul trouble from Brook Lopez, who picked up a pair of fouls in the opening minutes.
It’d be razor thin throughout the majority of the second, but eventually, things would click for Milwaukee. A Bobby Portis three would provide the Bucks with a double-digit advantage. After the Wizards were unable to convert, a Giannis lay-in gave the home squad a 61-49 halftime lead.
