Returning to the court after a recovery that started on October 30, Paolo Banchero did his best in order to give Orlando a major win against the Milwaukee Bucks, but the latter side won 109-106 on the road.
The American forward finished with 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, shooting 5/8 from beyond the arc, for the Orlando Magic; but he didn’t consider that on the other side of the court there was the Greek Freak ready to be unleashed for the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a dominant double-double of 41 points and 14 rebounds, contributing to his team’s road win. He also had 4 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
After the game, speaking to the media in the press conference, the Greek superstar praised his opponent. “Obviously he plays at a very, very high level. A guy who can operate at all three levels. He’s big, he can defend, he does the little things that his team needs to win games”, he said.
On Orlando’s side, Tristan da Silva continued his good run of games and finished in double-digits, as the German forward had a losing effort of 16 points and 10 rebounds against the Bucks.
