Antetokounmpo has been on an unstoppable pace as of late. According to ESPN, the reigning two-time MVP is also the first member of the Bucks franchise to record three-straight triple-doubles.
This was another statement game for Antetokounmpo. The 26-year-old, who's also the reigning DPOY, has been at the bottom half of the MVP race this season. Currently, he's ranked at number seven behind Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks. The thing is, Giannis' numbers are quite identical to his last two seasons where he was awarded the league's most valuable player. After games like this, pundits shouldn't sleep on Giannis as it seems that he hasn't even reached his peak yet.
More importantly, Giannis' monster evening gave the Bucks their fourth-straight win as they try to climb up the Eastern Conference standings. With their 133-122 win over the Wizards, the Bucks now stands at 25-14 and are just two games behind the Philadelphia 76ers for the conference lead.
