Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo scored the most points he had ever scored during his professional career, recording 64 points against the Pacers.

Milwaukee left their starters on the court during the victory over Indiana (who had already emptied their bench with nearly six minutes remaining in the fourth) as Antetokounmpo scored a franchise record.
This is a team that famously had the NBA’s longtime scoring leader, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as well as 12-time All-Star guard Oscar Robertson.
