Last week against the Indiana Pacers, Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped a career-best 64 points in a truly mind-blowing performance. The former back-to-back MVP also smashed the Milwaukee Bucks record for the most points in a single game as he led his team to a 140-126 victory over their Central Division rivals.
One week later and Antetokounmpo is at it again. On Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs, Giannis set another career-high mark in Milwaukee’s 132-119 win over a Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs side.
Milwaukee Bucks Star Giannis Antetokounmpo Drops Career-High 16 Dimes
Giannis did not beat his career-best scoring mark on Tuesday. In fact, we probably won’t see a 64-point explosion from this man anytime soon.
Antetokounmpo turned playmaker against San Antonio, which resulted in a career-high 16 assists for the seven-time All-Star.
The best of the bunch came in the third quarter as he kicked out the ball to a wide-open Pat Connaughton after hanging in the air for what felt like an eternity. Connaughton had all the time in the world to size up his shot which unsurprisingly, found the bottom of the net:

Giannis finished the game with just 11 points on a rather forgettable 4-of-12 shooting, but he did record 14 rebounds and 16 assists to record yet another triple-double. Talk about showcasing the complete package, right?
