Giannis Antetokounmpo’s scoring explosion in the fourth quarter was insufficient to keep the Milwaukee Bucks alive on Thursday night.
The host Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Bucks 113-110 despite Antetokounmpo’s late advantage..... The Bucks trailed for much the whole second half after the game was knotted at the half, until Antetokounmpo went on a six-point run in the final minutes of play.With less than three minutes left, the Grizzlies took the lead once more, and the Bucks were unable to rally.
With 15 of his 17 field goals made, Antetokounmpo finished the game with a double-double of 35 points and 12 assists. The fact that the star forward’s efforts were insufficient to propel the Bucks to victory infuriated the crowd..
