Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks

The incident at Philadelphia seems to have fueled Antetokounmpo. In the last two games, he has scored 30+ points. Against the Portland Trail Blazers, Antetokounmpo registered 37 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. His efforts helped the Bucks beat the Trail Blazers by 8 points. In the next game, against the Chicago Bulls, the two-time MVP bagged 36 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. However, his performance was in vain as the Bucks fell short and lost to the Bulls 118-113.

Additionally, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only player in the NBA that has an average of 30+ points and 5+ assists per game. Through both games, Antetokounmpo took a few hits and was a victim of a few hard fouls. However, he seemed unfazed by this. He said, “When I get hit, I kind of enjoy it. I feel I’m part of the game, I’m locked in and I’m being aggressive.” 

Despite the loss against the Bulls, the Milwaukee Bucks comfortably sit in the 2nd spot of the Eastern Conference table with a 12-5 record so far. They are undoubtedly keen to continue their good run by bagging another win as they face the Cleveland Cavaliers next.
