Giannis' fourth career 50-plus-point game came on 20-of-33 shooting from the floor and 15-of-16 at the free-throw line. He attempted all but one of the Bucks' foul shots.

Antetokounmpo's previous career high was a 52-point effort against the Philadelphia 76ers on March 17, 2019.

Greek Freak has scored at least 40 points in three straight games for the first time in his career. The two-time MVP missed Sunday's game against the same Wizards due to a sore left knee.

The only other Bucks to score at least 40 points in three straight appearances are Flynn Robinson in February 1969 and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in February 1972.

On top of that, this was Antetokounmpo's second performance with at least 50 points since Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals, when his 50-point effort gave the Bucks their first title in half a century. Antetokounmpo also scored 50 in a 128-119 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 15, 2022.
