Overall, it was a pretty tough Game 3 for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Milwaukee Bucks star, who recently got named as a league MVP finalist, only managed to rack up 12 points in the 2OT contest in which George Hill led the team in points. While he did have a monstrous 23 rebounds and a solid 7 assists, the Bucks have come to expect more offensively from the Greek Freak.
He also fouled out of the game in the second overtime frame, ending his night early and allowing the Raps to close out the scrappy victory.
On top of all that, he had to deal with one more pest. Drake, who has notably trash talked competition before, was doing his thing on the sidelines, and cameras captured him dishing out some words to Giannis late in the game.
Giannis was having NONE OF THAT. He wasn’t going to engage, knowing full well that Drake is not shy of going toe-to-toe when it comes to war of words.
Realistically, Antetokounmpo has absolutely nothing to prove. The man is an absolute force. It’s the Raps that need to let their game do the talking.
A Game 3 win does feel good for the home team, however.
