Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't need a lot of time to carve up opposing defenses. With a 32-point performance on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Greek Freak has set an NBA single-season record for 30-point games in less than 30 minutes played with nine.
All in All, Antetokounmpo added 13 rebounds and six assists to his 32 points while leading the Bucks to a 133-86 blowout victory. The win also gave the Bucks their 51st win of their season.
Along with 32-13-6 from Antetokounmpo, Pat Connaughton, Wesley Matthews and George Hill all scored 14 points. For the Thunder, Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous_Alexander were the only players to score in double digits with 18 and 11 respectively.
For the season, the Bucks have a league-best 51-8 record and are 8.5 games ahead of the Toronto Raptors in second place in the Eastern Conference.
Antetokounmpo has been the undisputed star of the league's best team. After winning the 2019 MVP award, the 25-year-old star has averaged a career-high 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 55.1 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from deep.
With 23 games remaining of the regular season, Antetokounmpo has plenty of time to add to his record and help lead Milwaukee to the playoffs for the fourth-straight season.
