Giannis Antetokounmpo sets career-mark with 15 assists vs. Blazers

MILWAUKEE -- Triple-doubles are nothing new for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Thursday's stood out as the Bucks beat the Portland Trail Blazers, 137-129.

Antetokounmpo's 24 points and 19 rebounds were impressive, but his career-best 15 assists most caught the attention of coach Mike Budenholzer on a night Antetokounmpo became the first Bucks player ever to have at least 20 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game

"I thought tonight was one of his best nights of just seeing the floor and really being a playmaker with 15 assists (and) in a lot of different ways he got the assists," Budenholzer said.
