The Milwaukee Bucks continue to roll.

With their 118-111 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night,the Bucks hold a two-and-a-half-game lead over the Philadelphia76ers for the best record in the NBA. It's been an insane stretchfor the Bucks, who, when zooming out, have won 21 of their last 24games. Since Jan. 23, the start of this24-game stretch, the Bucks rank No. 7 in offense and No. 2 indefense.

At the forefront of this run is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who'saveraging 31.7 points on 63.4% True Shooting, 11.8 rebounds and 6.0assists (3.8 turnovers) per contest. Those are his box-score statswhile including the two games he left early due to injury, logginga combined 15 minutes in those contests.

It's easy to marvel at his relentless drives to the basket, hispassing on the move, the rebounding prowess and the weak-side rimprotection. He's showcased all of that during this run whilequietly shooting well from deep (37% on 2.6 attempts) in theprocess. But we're not here to dig deep into that.

We're going to get weird — because Giannis' Sunday wasweird.
