He was in charge of reminding the NBA itself, still with his mouth open, that no one had drawn an exhibition like the one that Giannis Antetokounmpo signed in the victory against Orlando (117-108) for decades. Since 1959, specifically. More than half a century since Willie Naulls left with digits similar to Anteto’s. And these, sidereal, were none other than 30 points and 20 rebounds (also five assists) in less than 35 minutes. Naulls, who died in 2018, was playing for the Knicks at the time. Surely you would have enjoyed watching the furious night of the Greek player live. The Magic had to suffer it in their flesh.
The victory served as the Bucks winning their third consecutive game and improving their record to 9-8. For the first time they are on a positive mark since they were 3-2 on October 27. And all for those 32 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks from Antetokounmpo, who only lowered the piston from the free throw line (15/23).
The Magic substitutes looked for the comeback in the fourth quarter with a 37-21 run, but Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton (13 points) returned to the court in the final minutes to seal the third win in a row for the reigning champions.
Atracn de Lillard
Point guard Damian Lillard recovered his best scoring inspiration and with 39 points was in charge of leading the winning attack of the Portland Trail Blazers that beat the Sixers 118-111.
Along with Lillard, who posted his best record of the season after scoring five 3-pointers of 13 attempts and was perfect 14-14 from the personnel line, guard CJ McCollum added 18 points.
Lillard returned to play for the third consecutive game despite the fact that he has not yet fully recovered from an abdominal injury that does not allow him to perform at his best on the field.
The Trail Blazers coach, Chauncey Billups, reiterating that “playing injured is not positive, but if Lillard is comfortable with what he does, he has my full support.”
