And he can’t recall seeing another defense do what the did on Thursday to get the ball out of Antetokounmpo’s hands.
As the Bucks tried to finish the game, the Pacers started to turn up the pressure on Antetokounmpo with greater on-ball physicality and more double teams. “They started trapping a lot more, trying to get the ball out of Giannis’ hands,” Griffin said. “It’s good for us because these are just opportunities to grow and get better and find ways to get better. He had a great night. Phenomenal night. And it makes sense that they’re going to send multiple bodies at you, just gotta keep executing.
