Milwaukee superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was two rebounds away from a triple-double with 12 seconds left to play in the Bucks-Wizards game on Sunday night.

Despite the little time on the clock, Giannis secured a defensive rebound after Corey Kispert's miss from deep, thus getting his ninth rebound of the game.

Moreover, Greek Freak rushed to the other side of the court and instead of just holding the ball and running down the clock, Giannis showed awareness and bricked a layup to get his 10th board to complete the 23/10/13 triple-double with 3 blocks.

"I was thinking about scoring the ball, but I feel like in those situations, it's best to kind of keep the ball. Yeah, I just tried to play the game smart and kind of stole one," Antetokounmpo commented on his unique triple-double post-game.

Giannis registered his fourth triple-double of the season and 33rd of his career.

Milwaukee ended up winning the game against Washington, 117-111.
