It wasn't the prettiest performance, but the Milwaukee Bucks were able to claw out a win Monday night thanks in large part to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The 6-foot-11 small forward had his best performance of the season against the Orlando Magic, collecting 21 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, five steals, and three blocks in 39 minutes of action in a 93-89 victory.

His triple-double effort couldn't have come at a better time, as Monday night's win snapped a three-game losing streak for the reeling Bucks.

With shooting guard Khris Middleton out until late February, Milwaukee has relied heavily on Antetokounmpo to remain competitive this season. The 21-year-old leads the team in minutes, points, rebounds, blocks and steals.

He'll have the chance to continue his dominance against Orlando on Sunday, when the Bucks face the Magic again at the Amway Center.
