Giannis Antetokounmpo produced back-to-back highlight-reel dunks during Milwaukee's 129-115 win over Brooklyn on Saturday night.
Antetokounmpo has emerged as one of the season's brightest stars and his performance on Saturday night showed just why he is being talked of in the same breath as Steph Curry, James Harden and LeBron James.
"The Greek Freak" scored 31 points and completed a triple-double for the third time this season by hauling in 10 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists.
Brooklyn had started nicely in Milwaukee, leading by four in the early minutes when Antetokounmpo went the length of the court to slam in two points seconds after claiming a rebound at the other end.
Saturday's scores
- Brooklyn Nets 115-129 Milwaukee Bucks
- Houston Rockets 108-104 New Orleans Pelicans
- Charlotte Hornets 126-130 Washington Wizards
- Cleveland Cavaliers 108-111 Atlanta Hawks
- Boston Celtics 112-103 Memphis Grizzlies
- New York Knicks 97-129 Utah Jazz
- Denver Nuggets 122-118 Phoenix Suns
- Golden State Warriors 115-105 Portland Trail Blazers
- San Antonio Spurs 122-111 Los Angeles Clippers
Antetokounmpo was then in the right place to secure a steal a handful of seconds later and repeated the dose with his coast-to-coast effort ending in another vicious dunk.
The Bucks would go on to build a huge lead in the second period and then hold off a brief Shabazz Napier-inspired Nets run in the fourth to make it three successive victories.
They lead the Eastern Conference with a 25-10 record and have won eight of their last 10 games.
