Giannis Antetokounmpo continued a ridiculous four-game stretch for the Milwaukee Bucks

Over the last four games, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been on a mission for the Bucks.

Following his historic back-to-back 40/20 games, Giannis went for a career-high 55 points in a win vs Washington. Last night, he had a 30/20/10 game and was flat-out brilliant. Not many times can a player look so dominant in a 12-turnover performance.

Over his last four games, Giannis is averaging a monstrous 43.3 points, 18.3 points, and 7.3 assists. He has also been more efficient from the line, which is great to see. Antetokounmpo is putting any conversations about who the league’s best player is to rest. During this four-game stretch from Giannis, the Bucks are 3-1 with their only loss coming against the Chicago Bulls. Giannis sat out of the first game of Milwaukee’s back-to-back vs Washington, which was a blowout loss.

Antetokounmpo is once again right in the conversation for the MVP award despite some ridiculous numbers being put up in the NBA right now. Giannis is averaging just shy of 33 points per contest and is clearing his previous career high in scoring by multiple points. This historic play by Giannis is putting the Bucks back on the path to success even with the health issues they have been battling. It will be exciting to see what’s in store for Giannis over the next few games.
