Giannis Finding Ways To Impact The Game

Giannis Antetokounmpo only made five shots against the Cavaliers, although he scored 25 points. Giannis kept on driving to the rim and drawing contact, and it worked out alright for him in the scoring department.

The Greek Freak has not been known as a major free throw shooter, but he made 13 of 15 shots from the charity stripe on Tuesday. That’s fantastic both in terms of percentage and number of trips to the line.

The one way Giannis should’ve impacted the game more is through distribution. He added 13 rebounds, two steals, three blocks and just two assists to his 25 points. The Bucks are now 0-5 when Giannis dishes less than three assists in a game this season.

Although he played a huge role, the Bucks need their Greek Freak to do even more, especially in games against teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers.
