Giannis' Historic Start Powers Bucks, Team Now 2-1

Giannis Antetokounmpo has produced a historically dominant start to the season — through two games he had 68 points, 34 rebounds and 12 assists, a two-game opening stretch no player has matched. On Friday he led the Bucks to a 122-116 win over the Raptors with 31 points, 20 rebounds and seven assists, his seventh career 30-20-5 game and tying Nikola Jokić for the most such games among active players. On Sunday he scored 40 points with 14 rebounds and nine assists but Milwaukee lost 118-113 at Cleveland as Evan Mobley scored 23 and shot a perfect 12-for-12 from the line. Despite toe and back issues and injuries sidelining Kyle Kuzma, Cole Anthony and Kevin Porter Jr., Antetokounmpo is averaging roughly 36 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists. The Bucks sit 2-1 early in the season.
