Yep, he’s that good folks. In what was a back and forth affair, the Milwaukee Bucks took down the Portland Trailblazers 113-110 behind a career night from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee entered halftime tonight with a five-point lead, 60-55, with Giannis netting an absurd 21 points alone. The second half didn’t see either team pull ahead by a considerable margin, but when the Blazers closed Milwaukee’s lead late, Giannis was there to ensure they didn’t face back-to-back losses at home.
This was a statement game unlike we’ve probably ever seen from Giannis. His stamp on both ends of the court left a permanent mark at the Bradley Center, and his late game heroics from the block on Jusuf Nurkic to his thunderous slam that put Milwaukee ahead were a sign that he’s ascended to the absolute peak of current NBA players.
