Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo powers through Draymond Green for tough bucket

Maybe the NBA should add a new rule: Get out of the way when Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is barreling down the lane on a fastbreak.

The Golden State Warriors learned that the hard way on Wednesday, as Antetokounmpo powered past Draymond Green for a tough bucket in the closing minutes of the second quarter at Chase Center.

Antetokounmpo brought the ball down and slalomed against defenders before scoring over Green, who fell to the floor.

The Bucks, however, trailed the Warriors at halftime, 64-53.

From being a lanky rookie, the 31-year-old Antetokounmpo has developed into one of the league’s most physically dominant players. He consistently works hard on his body, helping him become an even more potent scorer.

His combination of strength and athleticism has terrorized opponents over the years. Even a good defender like Green stood no chance as the two-time MVP pressed full steam.

Antetokounmpo has been bothered by different injuries this season, leaving the Bucks struggling with a 16-20 record entering the game against the Warriors.

They, however, have gained a bit of momentum from back-to-back wins against the Charlotte Hornets and the Sacramento Kings.
