Giannis Antetokounmpo put on a show for the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, exploding for 44 points and taking over the game in a stunning win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Greek Freak dominated the game’s final minute, with two steals and a game-winning dunk, putting the Bucks on his back and delivering a stunning performance after a disappointing result against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the previous evening.
It was a remarkable performance on both ends of the court, with Antetokounmpo showing up on defense with two steals and a huge block at the rim with seconds to go to seal the victory for Milwaukee.

Portland led the Bucks 111-110 with under a minute to play after Giannis forced a steal off Portland’s Damian Lillard the possession before. He then punched the ball out again to set up a triumphant, extendo-arm dunk that electrified the Milwaukee crowd and gave the Bucks the lead.
Portland would get the ball back with less than 10 seconds to play, but Antetokounmpo came up big again, blocking Jusuf Nurkik at the rim to deny the potentially game-winning basket.

Khris Middleton would hit a pair of free throws after the ensuing foul, and the Bucks walked off with an enormous win after a tremendous effort from their 24-year-old superstar.
