Antetokounmpo passes Abdul-Jabbar in another category, Milwaukee’s four-game winning streak

The Bucks have won four straight, beating the Houston Rockets (128-119), with Giannis Antetokounmpo becoming the leading rebounder in their history.

The Rockets are not the Pistons, they are a much better team, but in the early hours of Monday (December 18th) they too fell on the screen. The Bucks defeated them 128-119 at Fiserv Forum, with Giannis Antetokounmpo setting another record, becoming the leading rebounder in the organization’s history and snapping a four-game winning streak since leading the Pacers in the semifinals of the in-season tournament turned off and beyond.

The Milwaukee team improved to 19-7 (14-2 at home and 5-5 on the road), with the Greek Freak padding his stats (26 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists in 39 minutes) against an opponent he constantly faced sent a second and sometimes a third player who takes the ball out of his hands. Antetokounmpo has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in yet another list and now stands in the organization’s history:

  • 1. in the entries
  • 1. in a few minutes
  • 1. in points
  • 1st in total rebounds
  • 1st in defensive rebounds
  • 1st in assists
  • 1. in blocks
  • 1. in shots made
  • 1. in marksmanship
  • 1st in triple doubles
  • 1. with precise shots
  • 2nd place in accurate two-pointers
  • Third in offensive rebounds
  • 4th place in steals
  • 7th in the three-point competition

Damian Lillard continued his good performances and is starting to find his feet and perform, Khris Middleton helped a lot in the second half and Portis-Lopez had his moments. Adrian Griffin has ruled out the struggling Malik Beasley and hopes to have Jae Crowder in early January. Currently, rookie Andre Jackson is getting more and more opportunities and justifying the Bucks with his image in the areas of defense, offense, creation and rebounding.

The Rockets fell to 13-9 (11-1 home and 2-9 away), looking like Jordan’s Bulls in Houston but far from struggling with multiple problems. Dillon Brooks was sent off before the final at 38.9, Ime Udoka also at the same time, and the evening ended badly for a team that had seven players in double figures but no one in really good form. VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Smith, Sengun and Eason had their moments, but that’s about it.


The Bucks’ next opponent is Victor Webanyama’s San Antonio Spurs, in the early hours of Wednesday (December 20th) at 3:00 a.m.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s account

He was very aggressive at the start, but also made four mistakes in the first third. He went to Dillon Brooks, went to shots, did what he had to do, but the Rockets defense was no match for the Pacers or Pistons defense and made it difficult for him (7/5 in 12 minutes). At the start of the second over he raced furiously with the bat, scoring six runs for 42-34, he forced no attempts beyond a three-pointer that was an airball, and at halftime he had an economical record of 17/8 of 8/13 at two pointers.

He opened the second half with a 3-pointer from the top to make it 74-64, but saw the Rockets constantly send a second player to him to take the ball out of his hands. He called for a challenge midway through the third period and avoided his third foul on a Sengun basket. At the beginning of the fourth quarter he provided the assist for a three-pointer by Portis (92-80 in the 33rd minute). He had a cut on his hand that filled the ground with blood. He grabbed the 14th rebound and went ahead again, was glorified and moved on.

In the 44th minute he committed a foul to make it 118:111 and ended the evening with impressive statistics and the motivation to overtake Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the last league. In a nutshell two points. He will do the same this year.

  • 26 points
  • 9/19 two points
  • 1/3 three points
  • 5/11 shots
  • 17 rebounds
  • 3 assists
  • 6 errors
  • 3 fouls
  • +11 to +/-
  • in 39:10

54-52 racket points, 9-13 surprise points, 16-27 points from substitutes, 13-22 points from opponent errors, 22-5 points from second chances and this was an area where the Bucks dominated.

ADETOKUMBO: “Disrespectful. Don’t ask me this question”

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.

To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”

On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
