    Yet again, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo reached all-new heights on Monday night. This was after he led his team to its fifth straight victory in what has been a bona fide hot streak by this new-look Milwaukee side.

    The former NBA MVP put on a show as the Bucks took down the Wizards, 142-129 at the Capitol One Center in Washington.

    Giannis put up some pretty insane numbers in this one. He finished the game with 42 points to lead all scorers. What’s even more impressive is the fact that he missed just three out of his 23 attempts from the field on Monday night. Talk about efficiency, right?

    Antetokounmpo rounded things out with 13 rebounds, eight assists, a steal, and a block. Thanks to his stat-stuffing performance, the Bucks talisman was able to shatter a four-decade-old NBA record:

    That wasn’t all for Giannis, though. If you take into account his incredible performance in his last outing — a big win over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday — Antetokounmpo is now averaging 41.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in his last two. Amazingly, he’s shooting 77.6 percent from the field during this stretch.

    I guess it would be safe to say that Giannis Antetokounmpo has been absolutely unstoppable in his last two outings.

    Will he be able to keep it going on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics? We shall soon find out.
