Historic, in every waywas the appearance of Giannis Antetokounmpo, in the victory (140-126) of the Bucks over the Pacers in Milwaukee, where blood initially ignited with Nesmith’s unsportsmanlike foul on the Greek superstar and then with the unfairness of Indinana’s assistant coachwho got the match ball.
Nevertheless, the “Greek Freak” achieved a series of records against the “Indians”, since beyond his career-high 64 pointsa record this season in the NBA and a record in Bucks history, he caught in 26th place with similar performances the big and jerk Michael Jordan.
Two more records “written” by Giannis, with his performance against the Pacers, is that he is now leading the scoring for the Bucks in every category. Specifically, has the most points in the regular season and the playoffswhile at the same time scored the most points in a match of the regular season but also of the play-offs.

At the same time, he broke up Indiana, having in the same season two games scoring 50+ points on the same teamwhich no other athlete on the other side of the Atlantic has done, surpassing Michael Redd who held the points record in a Milwaukee game with 57 since 2006.
Giannis now has three 50-point games against the Pacers (two this season).
Nobody else in NBA history has more than one against the Pacers in their career. https://t.co/o5F9Atcu6W
