After losing to the Denver Nuggets a couple of weeks ago, the Milwaukee Bucks have won against the defending NBA champions. But along the way, Giannis Antetokounmpo found himself scratching Nikola Jokic during the game.
Back during the Bucks’ match against Denver in their own home court, Doc Rivers lost in his coaching debut for the team. This marked the first loss that started a downward skid for Milwaukee during the past few weeks.
The losing streak was broken recently when the Bucks dismantled a Charlotte Hornets team without their All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball. After that contest, Milwaukee won another one against the Nuggets in a dominant 112-95 victory.
In that particular game, the Greek Freak led Milwaukee by posting 36 points, 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks. This marks the first time back-to-back-games have been won in Rivers’ stint as the Bucks’ head coach.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo Explains Why He and Nikola Jokic Have Scratches
After the game, Nikola Jokic found himself with scratches on his arms after competing with Antetokounmpo. Speaking to reporters, the Greek Freak explains his side. In a post by Scott Grodsky on X:
“I think you see scratches because he has lighter skin than me. I have a lot of scratches on my arms too. My significant other thinks it’s sexy so I love it,” Antetokounmpo said about the scratches he and Jokic had on their arms.
While Antetokounmpo was the game’s best player among the two teams, the Joker did well, too, for the Denver Nuggets. In 31 minutes on the court, Jokic notched 29 points on 52 percent shooting from the field, 12 rebounds, and eight assists.
It’s always a treat to see elite stars like Antetokounmpo and Jokic slug it out on the court whenever the Bucks and Nuggets meet. For sure, the battle between these two All-Stars won’t be done anytime soon.
