Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 55 points as he led the Buck to the win against the Wizards (123-113).
The 28-year-old power forward made 15 of 16 free-throws – that’s 93.8% – in this game. Antetokounmpo is known for not being the best free-throw shooter as he is making just 64.5% of his attempts.
After the game he was asked by Zora Stephenson about the impressive free-throw shooting night that he had. “That’s what I do,” the 2021 NBA champion said just before his teammates poured water on him.
“A lot of people think my game is boring, but I just try to do better, try to do whatever it takes to help my team win. At the end of the day, I got to get better at the free-throw line.
“I’m just trying to put some extra work there, find my teammates, create for them open threes and try to attack in the paint as much as I can.”
This season Giannis is averaging 32.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 33.7 minutes per game.
