Giannis Antetokounmpo Moving On From Game 2 Loss: ‘I’m Not Gonna Sit Down and Complain That I’m Frustrated’
Despite a monster second-half effort, the Milwaukee Bucks fell short of stealing home court from the Boston Celtics after a blowout 109-89 loss in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The man behind the attempted comeback bid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, finished the game with 28 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. However, he shot 11-27 from the floor and 1-4 from beyond the arc.
Antetokounmpo was 2-12 from the field in the first half before taking over the third quarter with 18 points. The Greek Freak told assembled media that he just had to keep making plays even if he wasn’t at his absolute best.
“Just gotta keep making plays; this is what basketball is about; you’re gonna make shots, and you’re gonna miss shots, but at the end of the day, you play to make right plays and finding your teammates.”
He followed up by saying that he’s moving on from the Bucks’ tough Game 2 loss and is focusing on Game Three on Saturday.
“At the end of the day, I’m not gonna sit down and complain that I’m frustrated,” Antetokounmpo said. “I just keep achieving and finding more winning solutions for myself and my teammates. We did our job, and they did there’s, so now we gotta go back home and do our job again.”
The Bucks look to take back the series lead Saturday as they host the Celtics back home in Fiserv Forum.
