Nothing new for Giannis Antetokounmpo as the Greek Freak had another monster night. Giannis dominated the Detroit Pistons with 32 points and 12 rebounds in an easy win 116-91. On the other side, Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic scored 14 points.
This is his sixth straight game with at least 30 points.
Just like Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks are dominating the East with seven big victories.
A defensive clinic was performed last night by the Chicago Bulls who decisively won against Charlotte Hornets 106-88. Slovenian Goran Dragic scored 16 points in only 15 minutes, while the big man from Montenegro, Nikola Vucevic added 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Portland fell short against Memphis Grizzlies 111-106, but the home side can be excited for Bosnian Jusuf Nurkic because he is playing great basketball this season. He scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
An incredible performance by Alperen Sengun was not enough for Houston Rockets. The team from Texas fell short against Los Angeles Clippers 109-101 but the Turkish player scored 28 points, grabbed four rebounds, and dished out five assists.
