Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 22 in Game 7 loss
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 22 points with nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes in a Game 7 loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday.
He was in foul trouble in the first half, but he was still able to log big minutes. The Celtics' Semi Ojeleye was rock-solid in defending Giannis in the last three games, which is part of what kept him from lighting up the scoresheet. Antetokounmpo's age-23 season went about as well as it could have offensively for scoring at his 26.9 points per game, but his defensive stats, assists and free throw shooting dropped off slightly. The Bucks have some offseason work to do to give him some help.
Antetokounmpo put up 42.3 FanDuel points at a salary of $11,500 on Saturday.
