Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Struggles with shot in loss to Cavaliers
Antetokounmpo scored just nine points (4-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT) to go along with eight assists, seven rebounds and one block across 42 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis:
Antetokounmpo struggled with his shot in all phases and was held just his third single-digit scoring output of the season. Coincidentally, all three of those outings have come this month, but he has not endured any sort of prolonged slump and continues to produce effectively in other statistical categories. Antetokounmpo is averaging a career-high 23.4 points per game this season and should bounce back sooner rather than later after this lackluster performance.
