After losing to the Cavaliers twice (without Eric Bledsoe), it was time for Giannis and the Bucks to smile in the end.

In their third match-up off the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Cleveland Cavaiers 119-116.

Even though they had a 18-point lead, the Cavs came back and the game was decided in the final seconds.

With the Buck up 2 and 5 seconds left Giannis stripped LeBron under the basket and hit the and-one to ultimately seal the game.

The “Greek Freak” was very composed throughout the game and flirted with a triple-double, finishing the game with 27 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

Bogdan Bogdanovic (4 p.) and the Kings beat Dario Saric (11 p. 9.) and the Embiid-less 76ers 101-95 in a game that featured two players that had gone at it many times in the Fenerbache-Anadolu Efes battles in Turkey.
