On a night where Victor Wembanyama scored 50 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo one-upped the young Spurs star.
He nine-upped him, to be precise.
The Milwaukee Bucks star posted 59 points to lead Milwaukee to a 127-120 overtime win over the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night. He took over with 11 points in the five-minute overtime session to secure the victory in front of a Bucks home crowd.
He had a shot at 60 but chose to dribble out the clock in the final seconds with his Bucks holding a seven-point lead. As usual, Antetokounmpo did most of his damage near the basket and had a nearly perfect night at the free-throw line on a 16-of-17 effort.
