Giannis Antetokounmpo almost snagged his 49th career triple-double, but the Bucks’ huge lead on Tuesday night kept him from it.
Dominant Performance
Giannis was on fire, hitting 10 of his 11 shots and racking up 28 points. The Milwaukee Bucks cruised past the Detroit Pistons with a score of 128-107. Giannis also added eight assists and seven rebounds to his stat line but took a seat for the entire fourth quarter since they were ahead by 20 points after three quarters.
Streaking Success
This victory secured the Bucks’ top spot in East Group B and pushed them into the NBA Cup quarterfinals. It marked their seventh consecutive win, with only one loss in their last ten gamesโa narrow defeat due to a controversial foul call against Giannis.
Fans are thrilled to see such an incredible winning streak!
Dynamic Duo
The dynamic duo of Giannis and Damian Lillard is leading this charge. In this game alone, Lillard scored 27 points. Throughout this winning streak, Giannis has been averaging impressive numbers: 33.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and eight assists per game while Lillard is putting up 30.3 points and dishing out 10.7 assists per contestโoften passing to each other.
