The Milwaukee Bucks suffered their 15th loss on the season yesterday to the Chicago Bulls, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is still putting in performances that should keep them in playoff contention by the end of this campaign.The Bucks lost to the Bulls 115-106 on Tuesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, with the opposition's Nikola Mirotic putting on quite a performance to help the visitors win their 11th game of the season.Mirotic finished the game with 24 points, eight rebounds, and one assist to help his team win. Chicago is now 8-2 since he made his season debut. Before that, they were only 3-20. Mirotic has been just as impactful for the Bulls as Antetokoumpo has been for the Bucks. However, The Greek Freak has been better and he showed glimpses of it during the game on Boxing Day.The Greek was arguably the best player on the court yesterday, and he further proved why he should be one of the favourites for the MVP award this season with a brilliant performance of 28 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.Two of his four assists on the night were created through two absolutely crazy passes that will surely make the highlight reel of the most insane assists this NBA season.Both of his crazy passes occurred in the third quarter, with the first coming from a situation where it looked like he would go up to the basket to score himself. Instead, at the last second, Antetokounmpo threw the ball over his shoulder to Eric Bledsoe for the wide-open jumper.
The second came minutes later, as The Greek Freak was attempting to get past the Bulls' defense, only to lose his balance and fall to the floor. While on the ground though, he bounced passed the ball to a teammate for the score.
It was just unfortunate for Antetokoumpo that the Bucks didn't come out of the game with a victory, as he put on a performance that was deserving of another dash in the win column.
The Greek Freak and the Bucks will be hoping to snap their two-game losing streak and return to winning ways when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.
