Nigerian Born Greek Basketballer, Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered an impressive triple-double performance, tallying 11 points, 12 rebounds, and a season-high 13 assists to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a commanding 128-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Damian Lillard contributed 25 points for the Bucks, who snapped a rough stretch of four losses in their last five games—all against teams with losing records.
Antetokounmpo overcame adversity after sustaining a cut on his finger in the first half, requiring stitches. Despite the injury, he returned to action before being rested in the fourth quarter as the Bucks sealed the win comfortably.
“He set the whole tone for our team,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said of Antetokounmpo. “When your best player plays like that, it becomes contagious, and the ball just moved.”
Zach LaVine recorded 35 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists to lead the Chicago Bulls to a thrilling 114-110 comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls overcame a 19-point deficit in the third quarter.
