    The Milwaukee Bucks won their sixth game in a row and Giannis Antetokounmpo had his sixth career 50-point game in a thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Milwaukee struggled from the floor early and scored just 15 points in the first quarter. Los Angeles seemed to pull away in the third quarter, extending their lead to 21 points at one point. Giannis, however, willed himself and the team to victory with one of the best games of his career.

    Giannis Led the Bucks to Victory

    The performance that the two-time MVP put on to lead Milwaukee to victory was nothing short of astonishing. Overall, he shot 21-39 from the field (2-8 from three) and was 10-15 from the free throw line. Like the rest of the team, Antetokounmpo started off slow from the field. However, while the rest of the Bucks struggled from the floor for most of the night, the seven-time All-Star almost single-handedly brought them back from 21 points down to win the game.

    Khris Middleton Continued to Shine Off the Bench

    Three-time All-Star Khris Middleton is still playing on restricted minutes as he continues to come back from a knee injury this season. In 20 minutes of play against the Clippers, he was the second scoring option that the team needed him to be. Middleton scored 16 points on 6-14 shooting (2-6 from three).

    Timely Defense

    The Clippers seemed to be able to score at will for most of the game. However, Milwaukee’s defense came to life half-way through the third quarter and remained stout until the game’s final buzzer. Wes Matthews displayed the clutch defense that the Bucks needed in the closing seconds of the game. Kawhi Leonard tried to penetrate to the basket to take the lead. Matthews, however, did not allow him access and forced him outside and into a bad shot without fouling.

    Box Score: Milwaukee Bucks

    • Giannis Antetokounmpo: 54 points, 18 rebounds, two assists
