Antetokounmpo's triple-double boosts Bucks past Nets

  • 8 years ago
Early in the second quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo raced near the foul line, lifted off and soared through the air for a thunderous dunk reminiscent of slams by Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Julius Erving.
There were numerous highlights for Antetokounmpo, but perhaps the biggest thrills occurred in the fourth quarter when he made history and helped seal a win for the Milwaukee Bucks.
When Antetokounmpo officially clinched the triple-double, the game was in a 96-96 deadlock.
Besides getting the milestone, he helped Milwaukee overcome a seven-point deficit by scoring nine straight points.
The Bucks never trailed after Antetokounmpo found Miles Plumlee for a reverse dunk with 3:20 left.
The Bucks sealed their third consecutive win on a 3-pointer by Middleton and a layup Monroe.
