Giannis drops 41 points to help Bucks complete sweep of Pistons
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 41 points (12-of-23 field goals, 15-of-20 free throws) with 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 2 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 31.9 minutes of a 127-104 Game 4 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
Antetokounmpo shot 8 more free throws than the entire Pistons team in a dominant showing.
