Giannis Adetokunbo Leads Milwaukee Bucks To Sixth Straight Win In NBA

Milwaukee Bucks of America sensation, Giannis Adetokunbo (Antetokounmpo) continued in his now consistent amazing form and helped his side romp to a sixth consecutive victory in USA’s National Basketball Association (NBA) league, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Antetokounmpo had 26 points and a season-high 15 assists, as he led The Bucks to a 120-113 victory over San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night, with Lonnie Walker also netting a career-high 31 points for the losing side, who are now 22-17, and DeMar DeRozan added 22. Antetokounmpo grabbed eight rebounds, barely missing a triple double, as he ensured The Bucks (27-14) won their season-best sixth straight game, on a night Khris Middleton also scored 23 points and Jrue Holiday added 21. The Spurs trailed 98-94 with 8:32 left after a jumper by Walker and Middleton responded with a 3-pointer and Pat Connaughton scored a layup off an assist by Antetokounmpo, while Donte DiVincenzo had 12 points and a team-high 13 rebounds for Milwaukee, which won for the 11th time in 12 games. Two more 3-pointers by Middleton in the final 5 1/2 minutes helped The Bucks pull away, and Antetokounmpo added a powerful dunk and a 3-pointer, after which Holiday was fouled by Devin Vassell on a 3-point attempt with five-tenths of a second left in the third quarter, and Holiday made all three free throws to give The Bucks an 88-84 lead. The Spurs led by as many as 14 points in the first half, sparked by a strong start from DeRozan, who had eight points in the opening quarter, but Milwaukee rallied to take a 43-42 lead on a 3-pointer by Connaughton and trailed again briefly before grabbing a 57-50 halftime lead.
