We’ve got a four-game trip? Is it four? Four?” Antetokounmpo was shocked. “We had Utah and Denver and came back? Oh my god… Gotta pack more clothes now. Um, okay, yeah it just ruined my night but okay.”
“Hopefully, we can play good basketball. What was that? What was the question again?” he added, as the entire room burst into laughter.
Milwaukee Bucks will face the Detroit Pistons on March 28th. The Bucks have secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings, having won an impressive 53 out of their 74 matches. However,? the Detroit Pistons lay at the bottom of the standings with a record of 16-58. Irrespective of how they rank, both teams will surely strive to finish strong and end their seasons on a positive note.

Giannis gets posterized by Jeff Green

During the latest matchup held on Saturday, Giannis Antetokounmpo had an impressive record with 31 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals, but it was Nikola Jokic who ultimately seized the spotlight. The Serbian center put on a stunning performance. He led his team to victory with 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 11 assists with a steal. However, it wasn’t just Jokic who stole the show.

Jeff Green posterizing Giannis was not a move that many saw coming. Finding some space on the three point line, the 36-year-old veteran player went straight to the hoop. Giannis was in the paint when Green rose for a daring dunk, leading to him being posterized on the court.
