This record-breaking performance came in a redemption game after a 113-111 loss to the Jazz. The Greek Freak&#8217;s previous career high was 55 points, achieved in a January 2023 win against Washington, and he had scored 54 points against the Pacers on November 9.<\/p>\n<p>In a display of unparalleled skill, Antetokounmpo went 20 of 28 from the field, sank 24 of 32 free throws, and secured 14 rebounds. The night wasn&#8217;t without its intensity, as a collision with Aaron Nesmith resulted in a brief heated exchange involving multiple players. Nesmith was penalized with a flagrant-1, while technical fouls were assessed to both Nesmith and the Bucks&#8217; Bobby Portis.<\/p>\n<p>Contributing to the Bucks&#8217; victory, Damian Lillard added 21 points to the scoreboard. Notably, Lillard&#8217;s second 3-pointer in the third quarter marked his 2,451st career three-pointer, surpassing Kyle Korver for fifth place in NBA history.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Pacers having previously defeated the Bucks 128-119 in the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament, Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner&#8217;s 22 points each couldn&#8217;t withstand the onslaught led by Antetokounmpo. The Bucks&#8217; victory showcased an outstanding performance and further solidified Giannis&#8217;s place in the annals of the franchise&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dITK-OzQdGk?si=8rOIM0-9HR3jS26F\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo etched his name in Milwaukee Bucks history by shattering the franchise record with an incredible 64-point performance, leading the Bucks to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":472790,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[16728,16971,16726],"news_category":[16706,16715,14084],"gn_keywords":[17843,18386,17841],"acf":{"announce":"Milwaukee defeated Indiana Pacers with stunning performance on Wednesday night","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/472789"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472789"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/472789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":472793,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/472789\/revisions\/472793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472789"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=472789"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=472789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
