Giannis Antetokounmpo's 'sneaky' layup off glass lifts Milwaukee Bucks over Charlotte Hornets

MILWAUKEE -- As Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo charged toward the basket during the closing seconds of a tie game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night, he knew he was going to have to get creative to score.

So, Antetokounmpo flipped the ball off the bottom of the glass with a finger roll to guide it into the hoop and seal a 127-125 victory for the Bucks. His heroics capped off a 40-point, 12-rebound, 9-assist performance and helped lead the Bucks to their eighth consecutive victory.

"If you just go normal, most likely you're going to get blocked, so you've got to be sneaky with it," Antetokounmpo said after the game.
