Although they lost their sixth game in a row, Washington gave the highly skilled Bucks a good fight.

With 10:02 left in the fourth quarter, Corey Kispert's layup gave the Wizards a one-point lead. However, Antetokounmpo scored on the opposite end to spark a 15-3 Milwaukee surge.

Since Mike Woodson of the Kansas City Kings, Antetokounmpo has the highest percentage of any player with at least 20 attempts from the field (87.0%).

Even though Antetokounmpo only made two of his six free throws, the Wizards were unable to stop him from controlling the rim.

The two-time NBA MVP added eight assists and 13 rebounds.
