MILWAUKEE — Anthony Davis wasn’t set, and Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn’t revving up for one of his zero-to-sixty drives to the basket, as the defending MVP instead raised up from 23 feet and calmly hit his fifth triple of the game.
He turned and winked to the camera, a signal to the nationally televised audience that was supposed to be watching a contest between two juggernauts.
It was more of an announcement, a coronation of sorts, as Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks ran away with a convincing 111-104 win Thursday night over LeBron James’ and Davis’ Los Angeles Lakers at Fiserv Forum.
