VIDEO: Zion Williamson & Giannis Antetokounmpo Delight NBA Fans

February 25, 2021 ,

Thursday night, in front of a national audience on TNT, Zion and the Giannis put on a show during the Bucks 129-125 win over the Pelicans. The game featured 14 ties and 15 lead changes and came right down to the wire in the 4th quarter. 

The 1st half belonged to Zion, as he played out of his mind with 24 points on 11/15 FG. 
There were plenty of highlights in this one, with the most astounding one coming from Zion, as he volleyball spiked a layup attempt by Donte DiVincenzo so hard it careened out to the 3-point line.
At another point in the game, the Greek Freak was able to get up and out-muscle Zion for a block of his own on the big New Orleans power forward. 
In the end, Zion put up 34 points (15/26 FG), 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal & 1 block, which wasn't enough to top Giannis' 38 points (14/27 FG), 10 rebounds, 4 assists & 1 block. 

While the Bucks have now won 4 in a row after a 5-game losing streak, one should not rule out the state of the competition. During the losing streak, they lost to Phoenix, Utah and the surging Toronto Raptors (2x) - all teams that are at or above .500%. A loss to Oklahoma City was the only suspect loss during that slide. Conversely, all of their recent wins have come over teams that are all under .500% (Minnesota, OKC, Sacramento & New Orleans). So are the Bucks for real? Are they going to beat the teams they should, and no more? How will they fare in the playoffs when the real basketball starts?
