Giannis becomes Milwaukee’s winningest player as Bucks cruise past Bulls
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 46 points as he became the player with the most wins in the Milwaukee Bucks’ history on Friday, with the Chicago Bulls beaten 113-97 at United Center.
For Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers, however, the focus is squarely on preparing for the postseason as the Bucks eye their third NBA Championship.
Antetokounmpo surpassed the 40-point mark for the eighth time this season, also adding 16 rebounds and six assists, as the Bucks recorded their fifth straight victory.
The win was the 489th of Antetokounmpo’s Bucks career including both regular-season and playoff games, taking the two-time NBA MVP clear of Sidney Moncrief as the winningest player in franchise history.
“Everybody has to be on the same page, and I feel like the last couple of games, we’re doing that and that’s why our defense has taken a step,” Antetokounmpo said after the win.
“Hopefully, we can keep it up. Right now, it’s just about trust. We’ve just got to trust one another. That’s it, win or lose, we have to have the same trust.”
