Antetokoumpo and his strangest double-double

Big stars are capable of incredible things. To perform great performances in the blink of an eye, but also to make them very curious and surprising. Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of those giants and in the victory of his Milwaukee Bucks by 105 to 114 in Atlanta against the Hawks he showed it.

The Greek forward did his strangest double-double. He recorded it with just rebounds (many: 18) and assists (10). He didn’t have the need to reach ten points: sHe was only 7 in 35 minutes on the pitch. It is, logically, his lowest score so far this season and the lowest since he stayed in one against the Houston Rockets on April 29, 2021. On that occasion he had his reason for being since he was only on track 46 seconds.

If we want to see such a minimal scoring contribution with a real presence on the field, that is, With more than 10 minutes on the court we have to go back almost to the Pleistocene, to January 8, 2016, more than seven years ago. not bad for Antetowho despite his little production in front of the basket had the best plus/minus of the game with +15.

Without their goals, they were Brook Lopez (20 points and 12 rebounds) and Jrue Holiday (27) who led the charge of some Bucks that came to be 24 points up at the beginning of the third quarter (50-74) but they were close to messing it up: with only 4:05 to close the duel, the Hawks tied at 101. A 0-10 run gave Milwaukee their 27th victory of the season.
