1. Block party

One of Antetoknounmpo’s greatest strengths is his versatility. He can guard multiple positions and often serves as the Bucks’ last line of defense in guarding the basket.

Fortunately for Milwaukee, he was ready on this play, as he sent back a shot from a player who’s typically on the defensive side of this play:

DeAndre Jordan gets a mismatch on Bledsoe down low and looks to take advantage. He power dribbles toward the middle before spinning back to the baseline and throwing up a baby hook with his right hand. Antetoknoumpo, who had been lurking like a lion in the weeds, then pounces and rises up to meet the ball at the apex and block it off the backboard.

The Bucks then take full advantage of the stellar play and Bledsoe takes it coast to coast for the and-one layup.
