Giannis Antetokounmpo, with his 4th career triple double, has etched himself in Bucks history in 108-100 win vs Nets. Antetokounmpo had 28 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds, nearly getting his fourth triple-double in the last 11 games by halftime, and Milwaukee beat the Brooklyn Nets 109-100 on Sunday night.
Antetokounmpo already had 12 points, nine assists and eight rebounds by the half on his way to becoming the first Bucks player with four triple-doubles in a season. All of them have come since Feb. 22. “Sometimes it doesn’t look like he’s sweating, or breathing hard,” Bucks coach Jason Kidd said, “and that just shows how talented he is”.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Giannis is the Bucks player with the most triple doubles ever.
