Bucks, historic triple-double by Giannis: “Winning is important”
2 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists with a 100% shooting percentage: Giannis Antetokounmpo makes NBA history in the victory against the Toronto Raptors
This time, Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn’t need any strategy to achieve the triple-double: with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists, Antetokounmpo not only puts the stamp on the Milwaukee Bucks’ 118-111 victory, but also writes history (the Best Individual Performances in NBA History).
He does it without missing any of the 9 shots taken against the Raptors at the Fiserv Forum, becoming only the fourth player ever in the NBA to conclude a triple-double with 100% shooting from the field.
I’m really lucky to be able to finish with these statistics, and I don’t take it for granted. Winning was important, and maybe when I’m older, looking back, I’ll really appreciate what I was able to do

The Bucks have regained their winning touch after the away defeat against the Pacers. This marks the 51st victory for the Bucks this season, with only 2.5 games separating them from the Philadelphia 76ers and the favorite for MVP, Joel Embiid.
