NBA standout Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed pride in his teammate, Bobby Portis, who delivered a stellar performance for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Detroit Pistons, marking his best game to date.

Portis showcased an impressive double-double, amassing 31 points and 12 rebounds, with an outstanding 18-point surge in the second quarter.
Adding to the triumph, Portis displayed accuracy from beyond the arc, shooting 4-of-7 from three-point range and a perfect 5-of-5 overall.

Despite uncertainties about the meaning of “YumYumSauce,” the enthusiasm of Antetokounmpo and Portis is understandable. They successfully handled business on their home court, overcoming distractions from a previous matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Portis, coming off the bench, achieved an exceptional feat, becoming only the fifth player in history to record at least 31 points, 12 rebounds, and four 3-pointers in a bench role. Notably, he accomplished this in just around 27 minutes of play.
Portis’ impactful performance earned accolades from head coach Adrian Griffin, who praised the leadership of Portis and the team’s top players. Griffin emphasized the serious approach displayed by the team, both in the locker room and on the court. Looking ahead, the Bucks will face the Houston Rockets, with hopes for another standout performance from Portis.
