The reigning Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo seems to have taken his game to another level this season. And that too in big games. Giannis has dominated teams that are title contenders and it seems like he plays with a vengeance every time he’s on the court.
Giannis continued his domination on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as he finished with a monster stat line. He had 39 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block on 68% shooting from the field. He also went perfect from the three-point line (4-4) and he did all this in only 27 minutes.

Giannis is keen to repeat as champions and he has been playing on an MVP level all season long. Somehow his game seems to have developed even more, as he is hitting the mid-range shot more consistently and he is not forcing things anymore.

Giannis was sensational as he has been all season long. He’s averaging 29.4 points and 11.5 rebounds and he has led the Bucks to third place in the East. In big games, he has been outstanding.
It feels like whenever there are rivals in town; he takes it to a new level. The Bucks will hope that he continues this in the playoffs as well. He will be ready to take anyone on, as he looks more than determined to win it again.
