Giannis Antetokounmpo Leads Bucks to Break Seven-Game Losing Streak
The Milwaukee Bucks ended a challenging seven-game losing streak on Saturday, November 29, 2025, with a decisive victory over the Brooklyn Nets. This marked their longest losing streak since January 2014.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Shines in Return
Leading the charge, Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered an impressive performance, scoring 29 points and securing eight rebounds in just 19 minutes of play. His contribution was crucial in lifting the team and restoring their winning momentum.
Historic Milestone for Antetokounmpo
In addition to clinching the victory, Antetokounmpo achieved a significant career milestone. During the third quarter, he made a corner three-pointer, becoming the 42nd player in NBA history to surpass 21,000 career points. Notably, he is now recognized as the sixth-youngest player to reach this landmark.
Porter’s Return Adds Depth
Saturday’s matchup also marked the return of Kevin Porter Jr. He had missed 19 out of the Bucks’ first 20 games due to a series of injuries. Porter initially suffered a sprained left ankle in the season opener, which prompted further complications, including a torn meniscus in his right knee that required surgery.
- Porter scored 13 points, four rebounds, and six assists.
- He returned under a 25-minute playing limit, starting as point guard.
- Ryan Rollins, who excelled in Porter’s absence, continued to impress on the court.
Team Performance and Outlook
With this win, the Bucks improved their record to 9-12, inching closer to a .500 status. The return of Antetokounmpo and Porter is expected to significantly enhance the team’s performance moving forward.
The Bucks aim to build on this victory as they look to regain their form in the upcoming matches. Fans are hopeful that this win marks a turning point in the season.
