Giannis, Bucks blow out Wizards

LOS ANGELES, USA – Milwaukee’s Most Valuable Player candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo made all 17 of his free throws on the way to 37 points in the Bucks’ 131-115 victory over the Washington Wizards in the NBA on Saturday, February 2 (Sunday, February 3, Manila time).

Antetokounmpo set the franchise record for most free throws without a miss.

The Bucks as a whole were a perfect 24-for-24 from the foul line as they improved their league-leading record to 38-13.

Antetokounmpo added 10 rebounds for the Bucks, who notched a third straight win and remained two games ahead of Toronto atop the Eastern Conference.
