Milwaukee Bucks won fifth place in the Eastern NBA conference after defeating Detroit Pistons 125-119 On Friday evening. It was also the seventh victory of Bucks in a row.

Now Bucks will close the regular season against the pistons, and then enter the NBA Play -Offs to face Pacers in the first round for the second year in a row. As the fans remember, Indiana eliminated Milwaukee from the season after the season.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokunmpo has created a franchise story vs Detroit Pistons
As in the case of most of the season, Bucks led to victory through the two -time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokunmpo. Playing again without Damian Lillard (because he is still dealing with a blood clot in the calf), the Greek maniac led his team to victory in the game, which was abrasive, physical and contained many technical fouls.
What’s more, Giannis set a novel franchise record in winning. He had an 11 triple double season, scoring 32 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists to go to theft and block.
His 11 triple double in the 2024-25 season broke the previous ten record, which he set last year. It was also the 56th Double Triple Giannis career, which is definitely the most in the franchise history. The next closest is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had eight.
Giannis ’56 Triple-Clole ranks 12th in the history of NBA. Larry Bird, who was 59, is another player who can pass on the list of all time.
Among energetic players, only Russell Westbrook (203), Lebron James (122), Luka Doncic (82), James Harden (79) and Domantas Sabonis (68) have more.
Giannis Antetokunmpo has five triple double in the last six Milwaukee Bucks matches
Perhaps the most exhilarating and impressive in the novel Giannis album is that he recorded four of his 11 triple double in the last five matches in which he played. In this way, he helped to ensure that Bucks would not fall in the classification and instead remained in the fifth grain.
This, of course, establishes them in the above -mentioned opening series against Indiana Pacers. If they fell to the sixth semen, they would have to play New York Knicks.
In their last five games they all win Milwaukee, Giannis presented the following statistics:
- 35 points, 17 rebounds, 20 assists versus Philadelphia 76ers
- 36 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists vs Miami Heat
- 23 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists vs the minnesota timberwolves
