Made field goals: 21 (Done twice)

When Antetokounmpo has a game like he did against Indiana where he's dominating, he's obviously scoring often at the rim. The most field goals he's ever made in a regular season games is 21, which he's done on two separate occasions, but surprisingly, neither of those include that 64-point game vs. the Pacers. He made 20 field goals in that one, which he's done five times in total.

The first 21-field goal showing for Antetokounmpo came on May 2, 2021, against the Brooklyn Nets, where he finished with 49 points on 21-of-36 field goal shooting. Nearly two years later, Giannis was incredible against the LA Clippers in a February 2, 2023, matchup, totaling 54 points and 19 boards on 21-of-39 shooting against a very strong defense that featured Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Made 3-pointers: 5 - Lakers @ Bucks on 12/19/2019

It's no secret that Giannis Antetokounmpo has never been an outside shooter. However, there have been contests here and there where he gets hot and looks like a natural from 3-point territory. He's made four 3-pointers in a game seven different times in his career, but there has been one instance where he made five, which came on December 19, 2019.

Putting together his second MVP campaign, Antetokounmpo had to show out with his main competitor, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, in town. He undoubtedly did so, finishing with 34 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. However, the main takeaway was how Antetokounmpo got 15 of those points by knocking down five triples. It was a night to remember in Milwaukee.
