Unreal. –

Huge block by Giannis Antetokounmpo on that Jalen Duren dunk.

Oh my gosh. Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to put a little extra on that dunk and missed it, but the Bucks got it back anyways.

Heading to the fourth quarter, the Bucks lead, 98-97.
The Bucks are going to be unhappy with their execution during that final stretch without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the middle of the third. Had a number of chances to build the lead, but couldn’t do it. –

@
Second game in a row that an inbounder has actually thrown the alley-oop to Giannis Antetokounmpo… –

@
Bucks have been way more aggressive in ignoring Ausar Thompson in the second half.
Giannis Antetokounmpo to start the third quarter and now Brook Lopez with Antetokounmpo taking a breather. –

@
Giannis Antetokounmpo is just operating at a ridiculous level offensively right now.
He has 21 points, four rebounds and 12 assists in 24 minutes tonight. Manipulating the defense every possession and finding shooters. –

@
It’s kind of crazy that Giannis Antetokounmpo’s mid-range jumper has become such a problem that he’s gotten the Pistons twice on a pump fake of a mid-ranger to start the second half. –

Giannis Antetokounmpo is just in total control with this lineup.
Four shooters with Porter, Green, Trent and Portis. All three guards are willing screeners in the inverted pick and roll. You can see why this lineup has been so good for the Bucks recently. –

Giannis Antetokounmpo was sent to the locker room early to get a head-start on the trip to Detroit last night.
“You want to finish what you started…but then as a leader, try to be smart. I know we have two playoff games in front of us.”

With 7:34 remaining in the fourth quarter, Pat Connaughton has entered for Kyle Kuzma, who put up 17 points and three rebounds.
Kuzma walked down the tunnel to the Bucks locker room after exiting the game. That is the same thing Giannis Antetokounmpo did late in the 3rd quarter. –

Eric Nehm: Bucks injury report vs. Detroit on Friday: Out: Jericho Sims (Right Thumb UCL Sprain) Doubtful: Tyler Smith (Right Ankle Sprain) Probable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Left Shoulder Tendinopathy) -via / April 11, 2025

So, with a flight to Detroit to catch on Thursday night, Antetokounmpo went straight from the floor to the locker room to begin his postgame routine of stretching, lifting and showering to get himself ready to depart as quickly as possible once the game ended. “Obviously, you want to play the game,” Antetokounmpo said. “You want to finish what you started. Obviously, I have huge trust in my teammates, I know that they can finish the game in a situation like that when my coaching staff tells me to go in the back and get ready for the next game. -via / April 11, 2025

Whatever the other teams in the East are doing, though, is not the Bucks’ concern. -via / April 11, 2025
