Giannis Antetokounmpo: Nigerian Freak scores franchise-record 64 points as Bucks dismantle Pacers

Antetokounmpo set a new team record for the Milwaukee Bucks with this 64-point effort, breaking Michael Redd's previous record of 57 set in 2006.

This surpasses Antetokounmpo's earlier career high of 55 in January 2023 against the Washington Wizards.

He became the first player in NBA history to achieve at least 20 field goals and 20 free throws in a game while maintaining a shooting percentage of at least 70%. 

Additionally, it's the highest point total with fewer than 30 field goal attempts in NBA history. 

Damian Lillard contributed 21 points for the Bucks.

“It’s a great feeling. It’s a great feeling, being able to do it,” Antetokounmpo said. 

“As much as I can, I try to play basketball for the right reason. I try to play basketball to win, try to play basketball to help my teammates be great, but at the end of the day, being able to break this record in front of the fans here in this stadium, it’s a great feeling, too.”
