Many have tossed around the term `` unicorn `` to describe Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo , and on Wednesday , he made it obvious why . The 22 - year - old athletic marvel scored a team - high 32 points to go along with 13 rebounds , six assists , two steals , a block , and most impressively , zero turnovers . Antetokounmpo shot an efficient 12 - of - 22 from the field and went to the free - throw line ten times . Moreover , he was the cornerstone of an excellent offensive night for the Bucks as a whole . The surging team shot over 54 percent from the field and a stellar 16 - of - 34 from three - point range . Milwaukee also dished out a very respectable 28 team assists while committing only ten turnovers in the game . A three - rebound advantage on the boards was just the icing on the cake in what was a convincing win for the Bucks . The Milwaukee Bucks blew out the host Sacramento Kings on Wednesday , 116 - 98 . Milwaukee ( 36 - 35 ) finally crept above .500 as the team enters an air - tight Eastern Conference playoff race . The Bucks lagged for most of the season but have seen a stretch of stellar play recently thanks in large part to the return of dynamic wing Khris Middleton . Wednesday 's win was one of Milwaukee 's more convincing victories , as the team held a double - digit lead fairly consistently . The highlight of the night was the performance of emerging superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo , who led the Bucks with 32 points on 12 - of - 22 shooting . It was the rest of the Greek Freak 's stat line that was especially impressive , though , as he pulled down 13 rebounds to go along with six assists , two steals , and a block while not turning the ball over once . Sacramento ( 27 - 44 ) has seen things turn fairly bleak after trading away star center DeMarcus Cousins . The team has won just two games in its last 11 contests and saw an embarrassing loss at home on Wednesday . Defensive lapses were the story for the Kings , as they allowed the Bucks to shoot a whopping 54 percent from the field and bury 16 three - pointers . Three-point shooting on Sacramento 's end , meanwhile , has been a problem area . The Kings hit only nine three - pointers and have seen a sharp decline in both three - point makes and attempts since their deadline dealings . The Kings will play in Golden State on Friday , while Milwaukee will host the Atlanta Hawks .
