Well embarrassed by Ben Simmons throughout the match, Giannis Antetokounmpo eventually found the key to leading the Bucks to victory, 109-105 after extra time, that night in Philadelphia. The reigning MVP signed 10 of his 32 points (13/22, 15 rebounds, 5 assists) during the extra 5 minutes. His last shoot, 3 meters from the circle, gave his team a 105-98 advantage at 1’11 from the end. He then went to sit near the 76ers bench to watch the end of the game, whistled by some fans in attendance.
On the first 24 minutes, Antetokounmpo had compiled only 4 points on 4 shots. Led by up to 19 points, the Bucks, only 31 points scored in the 1st half, dominated the 2nd by a score of 62-48, and overtime 16-12. The team went ahead on a 3- points in the corner of Jrue Holiday (19 points) 52.3 seconds from the end of regulation time, and led 93-90 following a layup of Khris Middleton (15 points) 3 seconds from the end, before a 3-point Furkan Korkmaz to win extra time.
Donte DiVicenzo added 20 points for Milwaukee. The team, active on the transfer market last night, remains on 5 straight wins and 10 successes in its last 10 meetings. In front Tobias Harris signed 19 points and Danny Green 18. Philadelphia, without Joel Embiid (knee) for 3 games, sees its streak of 6 wins stopped.
