Bucks vs. Warriors Final score, Results: Giannis Antetokounmpo notches triple-double in dominant win: We have a better idea of which clubs will be left standing at the conclusion of the season now that the season is halfway over.
Although few would have predicted the Warriors as title candidates before the season began, they are currently among the favorites. However, despite the return of Klay Thompson, Golden State has been short-handed, since they are without defensive veteran Draymond Green.
After winning their first title in 50 years, Milwaukee has also endured difficulties this season. The Bucks have been missing key players Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo at various points this season.
Milwaukee has lost two of their previous three games, but The Greek Freak has been playing at an MVP level once again this season, averaging 28.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. He didn’t disappoint against Golden State, scoring 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists for a triple-double. Antetokounmpo tied Michael Jordan for the most career triple-doubles with his 28th.
The Bucks never trailed and led by 39 points at halftime, the largest halftime deficit the Warriors had faced this season.
Golden State won the second half, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Bucks from winning their eighth game this season from start to finish.
