Bucks laugh in Washington, Giannis makes a triple double (video)

The game against the Wizards should be a lesson for them and one that the Bucks are sure to remember for a long time.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's team had a poor performance early Wednesday (3/4) in Washington, losing 117-113 to one of the worst teams in the NBA and showing that with 18 days to go until the playoffs start, they are not in the condition they will be. required.

It cannot be said that Damian Lillard's absence or Patrick Beverley's new injury is the 'Gazelle's fault and it certainly should not be an excuse, as they were playing for one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Giannis fought alone and recorded his tenth triple-double this year, with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. He was economical and efficient throughout the match, until he committed two crucial errors, his only error of the match, with the scores at 115-109 and 115-111 respectively.

The Bucks' streak is down to 47-28, which has to change its image as quickly as possible because the playoffs are approaching and if he is not ready on a competitive level, but especially on a mental level, he risks being eliminated too early.

The Wizards, who played without Tyus Jones, Kyle Kuzma, Bilal Koulibaly and Richaun Holmes, rose to 15-61. Tristan Vucevic broke his own career record, being the 6th player in Part 1 and the 500th player in Part 2.
