Played 26 minutes in the game, made 16 of 26 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 7 free throws, and scored 37 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. The current lineup of the Bucks is quite comfortable for Antetokounmpo. His teammates can all shoot from the outside, which can give him more space to attack.

The Bucks shot very well from three-point range in this game. The team made 18 of 44 shots and hit 40.9%. Among them, 7 people hit three-pointers, including Trent who hit 5, Green made 3 of 5, Porter Jr. made 2 of 3, Prince on the bench made 3 of 4, Anthony made 1 of 2, and new aid Turner hit 2 of 8. He still needs to find his touch. From this point of view, the Bucks' lineup is still very reasonable, and it is clear that many shooters should be arranged around Antetokounmpo.
