As the Milwaukee Bucks cruised to their 42nd win of the season on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, Giannis Antetokounmpo put up the kind of incredible stat-line that’s become something akin to par for the course for him over the past two seasons.
With 30 points, 19 rebounds, and nine assists, there could be no mistake that Giannis was driving the Bucks forward in so many different elements of their game against Phoenix.
Also of note from that performance, though, was Antetokounmpo’s turnover tally. Giannis finished with seven giveaways for the game, which is the kind of stat that would normally make you recoil, but has more generally become an accepted and acceptable part of how Antetokounmpo needs to play to impart his will on a contest.
