Giannis Antetokounmpo proves his sheer dominance, yet again, with his second back-to-back 40+ point game, showcasing his greatness in all aspects of the game, especially during the second half as the Bucks defeated the Nets in this drama-filled lopsided win.

This high-filled octane game wasn’t short of drama, whether it was Kyrie Irving yelling at Ben Simmons or Nets coach Steve Nash’s controversial ejection, with the talking point of the game remaining Giannis hitting Simmons with the ‘too small’ gesture.
