The return of Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Milwaukee Bucks’ lineup immediately resulted in a win for his team. With Antetokounmpo back in action on Saturday, Milwaukee defeated the Chicago Bulls on the road to the tune of a 112-103 score.
Antetokounmpo did not just turn heads with his presence again on the court and production, as he also grabbed attention and seeminglygot under the Bulls’ skin when heelevated for a windmill throwdown in the final moments of the contest and with the Bucks on their way to a sure win.

But for Milwaukee rising star Ryan Rollins, he saw nothing wrong with what the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player did.
“Set the tone,” Rollins said (viaBucks Lead). “I love it. I love him doing that. I’m not mad at it at all. I love even after the fact too when [the Bulls] tried to press him, our whole team came out and we backed up Giannis, so, I love it man.”
Of course, Rollins and the rest of the team will always show support for Antetokounmpo, who lit up the Bulls with 29 points on a 10/15 shooting from the field, while adding eight rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 25 minutes. Rollins, meanwhile, added 20 points on 7/12 shooting, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 35 minutes.
What matters more for Milwaukee is that Antetokounmpo is healthy again and that they secured a win over Chicago.
Milwaukee will look to keep it going and sustain its form when it locks horns with the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, this Monday evening.
