Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 27-point, 18-rebound double-double, the Milwaukee Bucks suffered a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. He only scored three points in the first half of the away game, but improved in the second. “They did a good job against me. I just tried to stay aggressive. I knew that I would make shots eventually”.

The 24-year-old All-Star was held to 8/22 from the field in the Chesapeake Energy Arena matchup. He dished four assists and added one steal to his tally. He remained on the floor for 35 minutes, but his team’s six-game winning streak was snapped.

Paul George dominated down the stretch with clutch plays including a poster-dunk over Antetokounmpo. “He was doing everything. Down the stretch, you know where the ball’s going to go. He closed the game for them and played the right way all night” Bucks’ leader mentioned after the game.
