Antetokounmpo triple-doubles in win over Lakers

Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

The Milwaukee Bucks notched their fourth victory in five games behind a hearty performance from their most dynamic player.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, a 6-foot-11 small forward, recorded an impressive stat line against the lowly-yet-feisty Los Angeles Lakers Monday night.

In addition to his 27 points, 12 boards, 10 dimes and three thefts, the "Greek Freak" added four blocks and shot an efficient 12-of-17 from the field.

On the same night the 21-year-old earned the first triple-double of his three-year career, Bucks fans bid farewell to Kobe Bryant, who played his final NBA game in the state of Wisconsin.

After the game, Antetokounmpo remained tickled that "The Black Mamba" knew who he was.
