The Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo sealed this Friday his second consecutive game with at least forty points and twenty rebounds and directed the victory of the Milwaukee Bucks over the Minnesota Timberwolves with which Mike Budenholzer’s men ended their four-game losing streak.
After scoring 45 points and 22 assists against the Chicago Bulls, Giannis had 43 points, twenty rebounds, five assists and two blocks in a 123-114 win against the Wolves.
The Greek is the first player since 1982 capable of chaining two games of this level consecutively.
He also became the third player in NBA history with two consecutive games of at least forty points, twenty rebounds and five assists.
The Bucks overcame Anthony Edwards’ 30 points and 10 rebounds for a Wolves team still without Karl Anthony Towns.
