Antetokounmpo totaled 29 points (14-25 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-6 FT), 21 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and two steals over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime loss to the Lakers. He also had seven turnovers.
Our View
From the fourth quarter onward, Antetokounmpo was held to just three buckets. While Anthony Davis (34 points, 23 rebounds) was a factor, midrange jumpers and bombing threes from Khris Middleton, Damian Lillard and Malik Beasley took over for Milwaukee. It was not a wise course of action, as Milwaukee squandered a 19-point lead with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Antetokounmpo's do-it-yourself dominance has been on display in clutch scenarios for the past decade, but there seems to be a more deliberate effort to get others involved down the stretch -- which feels like an inorganic process when Antetokounmpo remains as dominant as he is.
