In a game that went right down to the wire, Giannis Antetokounmpo imposed his will in the TD Garden leading his team to a win 108-100.
He was a force on offense and finished the game with 37 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Additionally, the “Greek Freak” was clutch from the line connecting on 11 of his 13 free throws.
Malcolm Brogdon and Matthew Dellavedova were excellent in their supporting roles with 19 and 15 points respectively.
On the other hand, the Celtics have now started the season o-2 despite good efforts by Irving (17 p.), Brown (18 p.) and Rozier (15p, 7r, 6as).
In the final, crucial moments, with the scoreboard showing 99-97 in favor of the Bucks, Giannis found “Delly” for a three-pointer that proved to be the “dagger” in the game.
While it’s still early in the season, the Bucks had a great all-around performance and proved to be “the dark horse” that everyone is talking about.
Next up for Giannis and his crew, are the Cavaliers a match-up that will draw attention from all around the world.
