Antetokounmpo nets season-high 50

MILWAUKEE 122, UTAH 118

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a season-high 50 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for his 17th consecutive double-double to help the Bucks rally for their eighth straight victory, 122-118 over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

Antetokounmpo’s streak of double-doubles is the longest to open a season since Bill Walton opened with 34 straight in 1976-77. He had 32 points in the second half.

“I’m impressed, I’m not going to lie to you,” said Antetokounmpo. “Great game and all that. My second 50-point game of my career. Doing it with zero turnovers and all that, that’s great. I see that they made 21 threes, and as a team we were still able to be in the game and still win the game. At the end of the day, all that matters is a win.”
