The Greek Freak only had 5 points in the first half but had 5 assists and 9 rebounds.

In a game that the Bucks controlled all night and Giannis was held to 15 points on 5-9 shooting I noticed the unselfishness in Antetokounmpo. With 6 mins left in the 4th the Greek Freak cam across the screen and was on the bench, bobbing his head and looking totally calm and happy. The team was up 25 and he was not worries about his stats, but the fact that Bucks were on there way to being 5-0.

13 Bucks scored including 12 Bucks players scoring more then 6 points. Thats balance and sharing the load. John Henson also hit two three point shoots for the second time in a game this season. With Lopez, Ersan and now if Henson can keep this up the floor is really going to open up and the Bucks are going to drive teams crazy!
