Antetokounmpo went for a game-high 44 points (14/21 shooting), 14 rebounds and six assists in 40 minutes on the floor.
The two-time NBA MVP led his team to the overtime win (120-119) and also surpassed the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (14,211) to become the Bucks’ All-Time scoring leader with 14,216 points.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has transformed the Bucks into one of the best teams in the NBA. With the “Greek Freak” as the undisputed leader, the reigning champions aim for another deep playoff run to defend their title.
They currently are second in the East, at 48-29, just one game behind conference leaders Miami Heat (49-28), and have already clinched a playoff spot.
On Friday, without Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton in the lineup, Milwaukee suffered a blowout defeat to the Clippers (119-153).
They will aim to return to the winning track Sunday, when they welcome the Dallas Mavericks at Fiserv Forum.
The moment Giannis became the Bucks All-Time Scoring Leader!! Congratulations @Giannis_An34!! pic.twitter.com/a7w4tHK8Eb — Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) April 1, 2022
