In the game of Milwaukee Bucks VS the San Antonio Spurs held on Saturday night, the Spurs were only able to hold Giannis Antetokounmpo for 1 half of the game and the real game started in the 3rd half.
The star player of the Milwaukee Bucks opened his layup with an aggressive move as he scored 19 of his total 32 points in the 3rd quarter to lead Milwaukee Bucks’ win over the Spurs by 127-118.
Antetokounmpo got fouled on his drives repeatedly but was able to convert all of the12 free throws in the 2nd half for points dring 2nd half and then 10 more in the 3rd period as the Milwaukee Bucks finally started to take the lead. He entered the season’s game with a 60 percent foul shooting performance but they came out with finishing 15 of his 18 shots to complete his season-high of free throws.
Mike Budenholzer, the coach for Milwaukee Bucks said, “That is how Giannis is really built. It felt s if the Spurs were going to foul him on every play as he drove it and they also tested him on the free-throw line. If they are going to put Giannis on the free-throw line, I think that he is going to make them pay for that.”
None of the hard knocks from the Spurs were able to throw Giannis from his game.
Giannis said, “I am only going to trust my technique. I saw that whenever I tried to reach the paint, they tire to reach me and foul me and push me and all that stuff. I said OK, tonight is going to be that kind of night. I tried to drive it and went in the paint and just make these plays for myself and for the team.”
Up next, Spurs will host a game once more for the Milwaukee Bucks on the Monday night.
