The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. They scored 148 points, but the visitors put up 129 of their own at the Fiserv Forum. “Good win, but we got to get better defensively” Giannis Antetokounmpo mentioned after the NBA 2018-19 Regular Season match.
The Greek Freak scored 43 points with 17/21 from the field including 3/3 beyond the arc. His performance led his team to its 40th win this season. The Bucks became the first team with forty wins for the third time in franchise history. Their 85 first-half points were also a new team record, while their 50 first-quarter points were their highest tally since 1991.
Certainly the above are impressive, but 24-year-old Antetokounmpo believes there’s still room for improvement. “We’re a good team but trying to be a great team” he said.
