MILWAUKEE -- Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 59 points to pace the Milwaukee Bucks to a 127-120 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
It was a league-high for points by an NBA player this season and the second-highest single-game total for Antetokounmpo, who had 64 against Indiana last season.
Three players scored at least 45 points across the NBA on Wednesday night -- Victor Wembanyama had a career-high 50 and Karl-Anthony Towns netted 46 -- tied for the most on a single day in league history.
