Giannis Antetokounmpo played a phenomenal game in which the Milwaukee Bucks outperformed the Chicago Bulls by 97:113.
It seems that the crisis is behind the Bucks team. They managed to string together their fifth victory and are slowly finding their rhythm towards the end of the regular season, which is very important for them. The Greek basketball player is also in better form, as he scored 46 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in the victory over the Bulls. After the game, Giannis emphasized how important it is for everyone to be on the same page.
“Everybody has to be on the same page, and I feel like the last couple of games, we’re doing that and that’s why our defense has taken a step,” said Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had six assists and made two 3-pointers. “Hopefully, we can keep it up.”
A similar sentiment is echoed by Patrick Beverley, who praises the leadership qualities of his new teammate.
“We’ve been on the same wavelength lately. It’s obvious. After the NBA All-Star game, Giannis delivered an important message to us: We need to stay focused, take each game individually, and not look towards the future.
I think after that conversation, we rallied together and found our groove. Doc Rivers gave us our roles, what he wanted us to do. When you have a leader like that, a coach like that, you know your role, and the game becomes much easier”, Beverly said.
