They call him “Greek Freak,” and it was truly a freak show in Milwaukee Monday, as Giannis Antetokounmpo ignited for his first career triple-double to power the Bucks’ victory over the Lakers.
The 21-year-old went off for 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to lead a Milwaukee offense that executed on nearly every level.
The Bucks (24-33) shot 51.2 percent, while scoring 58 points in the paint and 32 more on fast-breaks. The home team also handed out 32 assists and led by as many as 28 points in its wire-to-wire victory.
“I didn’t think we competed live we’ve been competing,” head coach Byron Scott said.
