Giannis Antetokounmpo Makes NBA History For The Milwaukee Bucks In First Game Post Adrian Griffin era.
Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to demonstrate why he is one of the finest players in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks on a nightly basis. Antetokounmpo recorded a triple-double in the first post-Adrian Griffin game, a 126-116 home triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Milwaukee moved to 31-13 on the season with the win, and Joe Prunty served as interim head coach for the game. However, Doc Rivers is likely to take over as the Bucks’ next coach. Antetokounmpo dominated the Cavaliers with 35 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, and two blocks.
He’s been playing this well all season, but Antetokounmpo appeared to be on a different mission against Cleveland on Wednesday. Due to an injury, he did not play in their most recent meeting. The Bucks are different when Antetokounmpo is dominant on both sides of the court.
After the game, Antetokounmpo chose to post this caption on his Twitter profile, along with a shot of the game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers:
According to Statmuse, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only player in NBA history to record 35+ points, 15+ rebounds, 10+ assists, 2+ blocks, and a perfect 3-point percentage in a single game.
Milwaukee Bucks fans react on Twitter to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s historic night.
Antetokounmpo’s historic performance for the Bucks against the Cavaliers prompted fans to react on Twitter. Here is what some fans had to say about Antetokounmpo’s contributions to the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo is among the NBA’s most efficient players this season. He has a good chance of being an NBA MVP finalist with the Bucks this season. Other NBA MVP possibilities right now include Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks. Antetokounmpo will be on a quest for the remainder of the season after Adrian Griffin Jr. was fired and Doc Rivers was hired. He will continue to produce at a dominant level.
