The Milwaukee Bucks took care of business again on Friday night as they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on their own home court, 119-111. This was the final game of Milwuakee’s four-game road stand, which is why it’s great to see Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. ending their trip on a high note.
Milwaukee Bucks Star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Eye-Opening Alley-Ooop Vs. Cavs
One of the plays that stood out from Friday night came early in the second half when Giannis threw down a one-handed alley-oop jam. The finish was nice, but there’s no denying that Brook Lopez’s penetration and pin-point lob pass combination was what caught the eye of the fans:

That’s a pretty move from the 7-foot-1 center who showcased his handles and his passing ability in one very impressive sequence.
Giannis Calling For Change
For his part, Giannis was so impressed that he decided to advocate a huge change in the starting lineup after being on the receiving end of that beauty of a pass from Lopez:
“We should start the game with Brook at the point guard and Dame at the five,” Antetokounmpo said with a smile, via Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
Giannis was obviously kidding around, but it is clear in his message that he was left in awe by his teammate’s antics. According to Antetokounmpo, this just goes to show how much of a total package Brook Lopez has underneath that 7-foot frame:
“But no, it was an incredible play by Brook,” Giannis said. “And that’s speaks levels, he’s so talented. I think they called a timeout and I was walking to the bench and I was like, ‘This guy just crossed the ball over and threw me a lob in traffic?'”
