There must have been something in the air Wednesday night. After Shohei Ohtani flirted with history via a perfect game, Giannis Antetokounmpo made history on the basketball court: He passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most playoff points in Milwaukee Bucks history.
The Bucks uber star notched the historic points on a layup with about eight minutes left in the first of Milwaukee’s 114-109 loss to the Bulls in Game 2, which knotted things up 1-1.
Game 3 is set for Friday at 8:30 p.m. in Chicago. Look for “The Greek Freak” to add to his point total.
