In an impressive showdown Thursday night, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to a victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, finishing the game with an extraordinary 35 points, 17 rebounds, and 20 assists. This remarkable stat line sets Antetokounmpo apart as the first player in NBA history to achieve such numbers.
During the game, Giannis was efficient as ever, knocking down 12 of his 19 attempts from the field. Reflecting on his performance, he shared, “When you’re the main ball handler, making smart choices for the team is crucial. Most of the time, I strive to make the best decision either for myself or for my teammates.”
Adding to his accolade, Antetokounmpo has joined the ranks of Nikola Jokic and Trae Young as the only players this season to record a game with at least 30 points and 20 assists. This win builds on the Bucks’ momentum from their previous victory against the Suns on Tuesday, where they had an outstanding shooting performance, hitting 68.9% of their shots.
