Antetokounmpo has been in fine form lately, including scoring 42 or more points in four of his last six games.

Despite the Greek's great play, Milwaukee has had a hard time and last night's win at home against Minnesota broke a four-game losing streak.

"The Greek Freak" offered several powerful thumps that fired up the audience.

Minnesota led by eleven points at halftime, but couldn't stop Antetokounmpo, who totaled 43 points, 20 rebounds and five assists.

- I just want to win matches so I simply tried to go out and do what I could to push myself to the limit, he says afterwards.

In the opposing team, young Anthony Edwards impressed with 30 points and ten rebounds.

In the fourth period, he landed badly on his hip after a melee and was left lying on the floor, but was able to play on and finish the match.

He played the most of anyone in the match, over 40 minutes.

- There is always a concern about this kind of thing, we have to wait and see what happens, says coach Chris Finch about Edward's status ahead of the upcoming games.

The Timberwolves were missing two superstars in the form of centers Rudy Gobert (illness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf injury).
