Were the superstars of the league inspired after Damian Lillard dropped 71 points? That might be the case as they continue to unload huge numbers; this time, it was Giannis Antetokounmpo.
As relentless as he always is, the two-time MVP was simply unstoppable against the Washington Wizards as he went for his new NBA career-high 55 points. On an efficient 20-out-of-33 shooting from the field in just 37 minutes to go along with ten rebounds, seven assists, and two steals.
The Milwaukee Bucks went on to win the game 123-113.
But what was more impressive than his 50-piece was his near-perfect free throws. He shot 15-out-16 from the line.
The win was Milwaukee’s 24th of the season as they also improved to a 16-4 win-loss record at home.
Supporting the Greek Freak in the scoring department was fellow big guy Brook Lopez with 21 points while only missing three shots.
Kristap Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma carried the Wizards with 22 and 20 markers apiece as they played without Bradley Beal, who exited the game due to a hamstring injury, his third injury in just a month.
