Just recently, the Milwaukee Bucks won over the Denver Nuggets after losing to them a couple of weeks ago during Doc Rivers’ coaching debut. This led Giannis Antetokounmpo to tweet his take on the team’s direction.
Before the Bucks defeated Denver, they first faced the Charlotte Hornets. Although Damian Lillard and Malik Beasley led the team in scoring, the Greek Freak’s double-double of 15 points and 14 rebounds helped clinch their 120-84 win over Buzz City.
In Milwaukee’s recent 112-95 dismantling of the Nuggets, Antetokounmpo unleashed himself by posting 36 points on 73 percent shooting from the field, 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks. On the other side, Nikola Jokic led Denver in their losing effort by notching 29 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists.
This victory marks the first time Milwaukee has won back-to-back games with Doc Rivers as their head coach. Add Patrick Beverley to the mix, and it seems the team has turned things around right before the competition heats up in the coming months.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Shares His Thoughts On Where Milwaukee Bucks Are Going After Winning Two Straight Games Under Doc Rivers
After the win, Antetokounmpo shared a short message on X to convey his feelings about the Bucks’ back-to-back victories. In a tweet posted on the All-Star’s X account:
Love the direction we are heading 💪🏾🙌🏾 pic.twitter.com/9E38aiS7uv

Antetokounmpo’s post appropriately describes the mood in Milwaukee. This comes after the Bucks suffered a 1-5 record since Rivers took over as the team’s head coach. During that time, fans and critics blasted the one-time Coach of the Year for failing to get a winning record during his first few games with the team.
As it stands, there’s a good chance the Bucks have turned things around and the team is finally coming together under Rivers. Stay tuned in the coming weeks to see whether Milwaukee can live up to expectations or fall under them.
