Giannis displayed his defensive skills in the first quarter itself when he swatted away LBJ’s close range attempt. Seeing LeBron running down the lane is one of the scariest sights for any defender, but that is not the case for the 2020 DPOY.
Along with being a defensive beast, Giannis is also leading the Bucks’ offensive side. He finished the first two quarters by scoring 13 points to lead all Bucks scorers.
Regardless of Giannis’ tremendous performance, the Lakers are running away with the game.

While Giannis is having an amazing game, Lakers’ LeBron is not backing down. He is scorching hot from the 3-point line, finishing with 17 points in the first half. Moreover, the Lakers are desperate to win this game as they were defeated by the Warriors in their last game.
However, one thing that the team needs to improve right now is their interior defense. They are getting completely outscored by the Bucks inside the paint.
