On November 10, a Sunday of many troubles in Oklahoma, the Bucks began a run that already reaches 12 victories and with which they consolidate as the best team in the NBA (18-3). Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, author of 29 points and 15 rebounds in just 22 minutes, Mike Budenholzer's team shattered the Knicks (132-88) on a night without history at the Milwaukee Fiserv Forum.

This is the best start in the history of the franchise, which exceeds the records of the 1970-71 seasons, when that team led by Lew Alcindor (then Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Oscar Robertson, conquered the ring before the Earl Monroe Bullets and Wes Unseld.

"I feel very happy to see the team like that," Abdul-Jabbar told ESPN. "For a long time, their fans have wanted such a dominant team and they seem to have it now. I hope this year they will assemble their pieces even better and improve even more," said the author of the legendary 'sky hook'.

Rest in the last quarter

Almost half a century later, Antetokounmpo once again exercised as his natural heir on the parquet before terrified Knicks. Only four errors in the pitches in play (10/14), three triples and an overwhelming superiority. With everything resolved, Budenholzer gave him rest throughout the last quarter, which Giannis saw from the bench, joking with his brother Thanasis.

Nothing could oppose the New York team to avoid its seventh consecutive setback, given the terrible performance of four of its owners (Taj Gibson, Kevin Knox, RJ Barrett, Dennis Smith Jr.), with just 18 points and a very poor 5/33 at launch. For the Bucks, very inspired from the perimeter (16 triples with 45.7%) DJ Wilson (19 points) and Khris Middleton (16) also shone.
