Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways In Win Over Brooklyn Nets

In Giannis We Trust

Following up his sensational performance against the LeBron James-led Cavs was not an easy task for 21-year old Giannis Anetetokounmpo. However, Giannis stayed hot as he finished as the leading performer for both teams on the night.

Per usual, Giannis filled the stat sheet in a variety of ways, but it was most notable in how much he did it in a rare under-30 minute performance. He scored 23 points on 14 shots, with the big highlights being his two three-point makes that came over the course of the first half.

In addition to his three-point scoring, Giannis was a factor from the free-throw line, making seven of his nine attempts on the night. Aside from his scoring output, Giannis racked up numbers in virtually every other category as he hauled in eight rebounds, eight assists, four steals and two blocks.

The one category where Giannis didn’t make a contribution was arguably one of his better achievements for the night: turnovers. Giannis was one of the few Bucks who didn’t register a turnover, making this his first game of the season where he hadn’t turned the ball over at least once.

There was nothing incredibly overwhelming about Giannis’ performance against the Nets, at least in comparison to his night facing the Cavs.

But then again, it really didn’t need to be. It was as productive an all-around performance as they come and if this is what “off” nights are for someone at his age, it’s hard to really come away with any quibbles.
