Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are building momentum again. They have looked good of late, having won four of their last four outings. Milwaukee is also on a two-game winning streak after kicking off its West Coast trip on Sunday with a 115-98 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
As usual, Antetokounmpo led the way for Milwaukee. The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player lit up the Kings for 37 points on 13-of-17 shooting from the field with 11 rebounds and an assist in 32 minutes of action.
And with that performance, the nine-time All-Star moved past Denver Nuggets superstar big man Nikola Jokic on a particular list involving active players in the league.
Via StatMuse:
Giannis vs SAC:
37 PTS (32 MIN)
11 REB
13-17 FG
Passes Jokic to be first among active players in games with 30+ PTS and 75+ FG%.
Bucks cruise past hapless Kings on Sunday
Antetokounmpo did not have to do it all by himself to carry Milwaukee past the Kings.
Kevin Porter Jr. provided 25 points on 8-for-15 shooting with 10 assists and two steals, while Mules Turner and Ryan Rollins scored 15 and 12 points, respectively. Gary Trent Jr. came off the bench and scored 13 points.
Jokic is currently sidelined with a knee injury and is expected to miss multiple weeks, so Antetokounmpo can continue stacking up his lead in terms of that stat line. He can have another big game this coming Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center in San Francisco.
