After yesterday's parade, Giannis Antetokounmpo hugged Jon Horst, stood on a Jeep and then chatted with me about the Bucks' championship run. "Now they respect us, man. Milwaukee is on the f**king map again." Our 1-on-1 conversation at @TheAthletic: theathletic.com/2723411/2021/0…


On Wednesday, with Lillard/Rollins out, Bucks coach Doc Rivers chose to play Delon Wright 27 minutes and then run the rest of the game without a point guard on the floor. So, today, I asked, "Did that feel like a situation AJ Johnson is just not quite ready for yet?" Rivers:

Here is the Bucks injury report vs. CHA: Out: Lillard (Concussion Protocol) Middleton (Bilateral Ankle Surgery) Rollins (L Shoulder Instability) Doubtful: Portis Jr. (R Elbow Contusion) Probable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (R Patella Tendinopathy) AJ Green (L Shoulder Impingement)

Before the Bucks get back to it tomorrow afternoon in Charlotte, a closer look at some recent trends: - AJ Green screening - Gary Trent Jr. returning to form? - Deflections helping the defense At @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/59234…


Last night's Last 2-Minute Report has been posted here: official.nba.com/l2m/L2MReport.… The Bucks still won in overtime, so things turned out fine for the Bucks, but the report ruled Giannis Antetokounmpo's foul on Ron Holland at the end of regulation an incorrect call.

Brook Lopez: “I’m not well versed enough in the English language, or unfortunately any other language, to find new ways to describe Giannis’ brilliance...It's just, it's so special." On Giannis Antetokounmpo's masterful 59-point night, at @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/59218…


Andre Jackson Jr. said he thought he needed to bring his level up defensively because he thought the best player was also the hardest working player last night. And he couldn't accept that. On Giannis Antetokounmpo's ridiculous effort, at @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/59218…

Giannis Antetokounmpo erupts for 59 points, powering the Milwaukee Bucks to a 127-120 OT victory over the Detroit Pistons 🔥

Doc Rivers, on Giannis Antetokounmpo's first quarter: "It's rare. He just kept us in the game singlehandedly with his play."


FINAL (OT): Bucks 127, Pistons 120 Giannis Antetokounmpo with 59 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals. Unbelievable.


Bucks up, 127-120, with 30.5 seconds left in overtime.

Giannis Antetokounmpo all the way to the rim. He has REFUSED to let the Bucks lose tonight. Unreal performance. He's up to 59 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals in 43 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back.

Challenge unsuccessful. Cunningham to the line for two.

And now we have a challenge by Doc Rivers. Cade Cunningham just tried Brook Lopez and Lopez got whistled for a foul on his block attempt. I'm guessing they're going to say Lopez got him with the off-hand, but it's clean up top.

Antetokounmpo now has 53 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

That's an absurd sequence. Giannis Antetokounmpo blocks the alley-oop, pshes it up the floor and Brook Lopez steps into a 30-footer. Bucks up five early in overtime. And Antetokounmpo just dribbled up and bang'd a 3. Bucks up, 119-111, with 3:31 left in OT. WOW.
