Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Massive First-Half In Bucks-Pacers Game
Giannis Antetokounmpo is not just one of the best player in the entire NBA, but he is hands-down one of the best players, if not the best player, in the entire world!
In the first half of Wednesday night's game against the Indiana Pacers, the Milwaukee Bucks' MVP did what he does best and is showing everyone why he deserves to win yet another MVP award.
Playing a team-high 18 minutes in the first half, Antetokounmpo recorded 20 points on 7-9 shooting, as well as 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
Just one assist shy of a triple-double at halftime, Antetokounmpo will be recording his sixth triple-double of the season, which will tie Ja Morant for the fourth most in the league this season.
This will also be Antetokounmpo's 34th career triple-double, expanding on his team record with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jrue Holiday also recorded a big first half for the Bucks, scoring 27 points on 11-14 shooting.
Holiday's 27 points are the most he has scored in the first half of any game in his career, according to Lily Zhao from FOX6.
Milwaukee is currently in first place in the Eastern Conference and they lead the Boston Celtics by 2.5 games for the 1-seed in the conference.
With a win over the Pacers on Wednesday, the Bucks will move three games ahead of Boston with just six games remaining on their schedule, one of which will be against the Celtics on Thursday.
