The reigning NBA finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to make a case for regular-season MVP on Tuesday night versus the Sixers.
The Bucks forward finished the 118–116 win with 40 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and three blocks, shooting 67% from the field.
One of those blocks was a stunning effort late in the fourth quarter. When fellow MVP frontrunner Joel Embiid grabbed an offensive rebound with seconds remaining, it looked like he was poised to tie things up at 118 apiece. Antetokounmpo rotated from the other side of the paint to notch a perfectly-timed block and help seal the win for Milwaukee.
