Milwaukee Bucks Star Giannis Antetokounmpo With Great 4 Games

Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks Power Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been spectacular over his last four games. In his last four games, he has averaged 32.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 12.8 assists. He is also shooting 63% from the field and 50% from three-point range. Antetokounmpo’s strong play has led to success on the court. The Milwaukee Bucks are 4-0 over that stretch. He has a triple-double in three consecutive contests.

Milwaukee overcame a 24-point deficit last night to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 24-point comeback win with 10 minutes or less left in regulation is the largest in the NBA in the last 20 years. Antetokounmpo scored 13 points to help cap off the victory while Minnesota scored 13 points as a team in the final period.

Antetokounmpo is putting together another MVP-caliber campaign. He is second in points, sixth in rebounds, 14th in assists, and sixth in field goal percentage. Will the former MVP help take the Milwaukee Bucks over the edge in the postseason?

Milwaukee Bucks Season Summary

Milwaukee is the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference with a record of 45-34. Their offense has been strong. They are 12th in points scored, fifth in field goal percentage, and second in three-point percentage. Antetokounmpo will have to carry a heavy burden this postseason with Point Guard Damian Lillard out indefinitely with a blood clot.

The team has also had a strong defense. They are 13th in points allowed, sixth in opposing field goal percentage, and seventh in opposing three-point percentage. Even though Lillard’s return is uncertain, Milwaukee got a key player back on Tuesday night. Bobby Portis returned after a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug program. He had 18 points and 10 rebounds in his comeback.

Final Thoughts

Milwaukee returns to the court Thursday at home against the lowly New Orleans Pelicans. The Bucks will then finish with back-to-games against the Detroit Pistons. With the teams only separated by two games in the standings, these matchups will be of the utmost importance.
