NBA, Antetokounmpo monstrous but Milwaukee loses
In the ranks of the Bucks absent the'other All Star Lillard
Two NBA contests played in the night. Spotlight on Indianapolis where Milwaukee lost, in a sprint, the challenge with Indiana (126-124). The Bucks, without Lillard (resting due to a physical problem), relied on Antetokounmpo who responded with a super performance, scoring an impressive 54 points.
However, in the convulsive finale, The Greek Freak loses a couple of bloody balls that, in effect, deliver the victory to the Pacers. "I didn't take care of the ball in two actions", the laconic comment of the Bucks'all-star, the fifth player in NBA history to lose a game by scoring at least 50 points with 75 percent from the field.
Great show in Mexico City where the Hawks took home the challenge with the Magic (120-119 the final). Excellent performance by Young who closed out the game by putting up an impressive 41 points. In the final, Banchero misses a triple that could have given Orlando the victory.
