Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a career-high 55 points in the Milwaukee Bucks' 123-113 win over Washington on Tuesday night, snapping the Wizards’ five-game winning streak.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday returned to the lineup for the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum, and the pair lifted the Bucks to a 123-113 victory over the Washington Wizards. The Bucks improved to 24-13 in snapping the Wizards’ five-game winning streak.
When he reached the 40-point threshold on a basket with 8:53 to go in regulation, he set a career-best and tied a franchise mark by doing it for the third straight game.He reached 50 points with a three-point play with 3 minutes, 27 seconds to go in regulation to put the Bucks up 116-104, a lead they were able to maintain to close out the feisty Wizards. He nearly brought the roof down with a dunk attempt at 2:32, but the ball went down with such force it popped back out.
It had been a tough month for the Bucks as a team and for point guard Jrue Holiday, who missed six of his team’s 16 games from Dec. 2-Jan. 1, including five with an illness. He returned from a three-game absence on Tuesday, playing 19 minutes off the bench. But more than that, having their point guard back on the court was a lift for a team that has been struggling the last two months.Washington’s 7-foot, 3-inch forward Porziņģis was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for his play from Dec. 23-30, and then he followed that up with a 22-point, five-rebound performance against the Bucks in a Wizards' win Sunday.
