Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to a resounding 128-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors, delivering an impressive triple-double with 11 points, 12 rebounds, and a season-high 13 assists.

 

Despite suffering a finger injury requiring stitches in the first half, Antetokounmpo set the tone for the Bucks before resting in the fourth quarter. “When your best player moves the ball like that, it becomes contagious,” said Bucks coach Doc Rivers.

Despite the loss, Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama shone with 23 points, 14 rebounds, and eight blocks.

 

Elsewhere, the Phoenix Suns ended their losing streak with a 109-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, thanks to Bradley Beal’s 25 points off the bench.

 

The Sacramento Kings edged the Miami Heat 123-118 in double overtime, and the Detroit Pistons narrowly beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-115.
