In their third match-up off the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Cleveland Cavaiers 119-116.
Even though they had a 18-point lead, the Cavs came back and the game was decided in the final seconds.
With the Buck up 2 and 5 seconds left Giannis stripped LeBron under the basket and hit the and-one to ultimately seal the game.
The “Greek Freak” was very composed throughout the game and flirted with a triple-double, finishing the game with 27 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (4 p.) and the Kings beat Dario Saric (11 p. 9.) and the Embiid-less 76ers 101-95 in a game that featured two players that had gone at it many times in the Fenerbache-Anadolu Efes battles in Turkey.
Here are last night’s results and the Euro-scorers:
| PHILADELPHIA 76ERS | SACRAMENTO KINGS | 95-101 | Saric 11 p. 9 r. 3 a. 1 s., Luwawu-Cabbarot 3 p. 3 r. – Bogdanovic 4 p. 1 r. 3 a., Koufos 2 p. 4 r. 3 a. 1 s. |
