Giannis dominates in season opener as Bucks beat Wizards
Alta Sports7 days ago
Giannis Antetokounmpo wasted no time setting the tone in his 13th NBA season, delivering a monstrous 37-point, 14-rebound double-double with five assists to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a commanding 133-120 victory over the Washington Wizards.
From the opening tip, the Greek Freak was in full control, overpowering Washington’s defense and igniting the Bucks’ offense. Milwaukee jumped out early and never looked back, showcasing their championship pedigree against a Wizards squad that struggled to find its rhythm all night.
Khris Middleton, returning to Milwaukee after being traded during last season's trade deadline, gave a solid effort with 23 points and six rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Bucks’ dominance.
The Bucks’ backcourt was led by Gary Trent Jr., who put up 17 points, and Kevin Porter Jr., who contributed 10 points before a sprained left ankle forced him out early in the first quarter.
Myles Turner made an immediate impact in his Bucks debut, posting 11 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.
