The Milwaukee Bucks were back at the Fiserv Forum as they hosted the Boston Celtics for Game 3. After splitting the games in Boston, the Bucks would’ve looked to make the most of the home-court advantage. Giannis Antetokounmpo made sure the Bucks did just the same.
Leading the Bucks with a 42-point performance, Giannis did everything the team needed him to do.
After starting 2/5 from the FT line, Giannis made the next 7 foul shots, going 9/12 from the charity stripe. He went 16/30 from the field, and despite missing 3s all game, he made a big triple in the 4th quarter. Due to his efforts, the Bucks won the game 103-101, and lead the series 2-1. They play again on Monday, where they’d like to take a 3-1 lead before heading back to Boston.
His performance today earned him a lot of praise from people all around.
NBA Analysts and NBA Twitter react to Giannis Antetokounmpo lighting up the Celtics
Giannis Antetokounmpo looked like he was toying with the Celtics all game long. Giannis was making his way into the paint and scoring at will. The Celtics tried stopping him by sending at the FT line, but after those initial missed 3 shots, Giannis made 7 in a row.
After the game, there was nothing but praise for Giannis all around.
With Khris Middleton out, Giannis is making sure that the team stays in contention for his teammate’s return. If he keeps putting up numbers like these, Ime Udoka and his guys are in for a rough series.
