Milwaukee Bucks: The 10 Greatest Games of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Career
2. November 25th, 2019 vs Utah Jazz: 50 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists
For a small piece of time, some analysts thought the Utah Jazz had figured out the secret to stopping Antetokounmpo. They infamously put their seven-foot-1 center on him with the thought their Defensive Player of the Year could slow him down. It turns out it only pissed him off, even when Rudy Gobert didn’t play.
With fellow All-Star Khris Middleton missing the game due to an injury, Antetokounmpo notched his second 50-point contest when the Bucks took on the Jazz on November 25th, 2019. And Milwaukee needed every point, as they clung to a four-point victory in the end.
The Greek Freak was spectacular on the night, having his will without Gobert available for Utah. He made 17 of his 31 shot attempts including three-for-eight from downtown and 13-of-19 from the free throw line. It didn’t matter who Utah put on him, he was out to send a message.
