Bucks Beat Blazers (119-111) Behind Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 37-Point Night

The Milwaukee Bucks started the season with a nine-game win streak, but an injury to superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo saw the momentum spiral. Giannis tallied six consecutive 30-point games early on, but he’s slowly flexing his dominance after returning from a knee injury. The Greek Freak’s minutes have seen an uptick each game since his return, and he busted out for 37 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals last night to beat the Blazers (119-111). Giannis shot 67 percent from the floor to get the Bucks (12-4) back on track after losing four of their last six. Watch out, league. The big man is back.
