The Milwaukee Bucks were defeated by the Washington Wizards with a final score of 117-113, despite a triple-double by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Giannis Antetokounmpo racked up 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, achieving a triple-double by the end of the third quarter.
Antetokounmpo and Coach Doc Rivers identified the team's transition defense and lack of seriousness on the road as areas needing improvement.
The Bucks' season record now stands at 47-28 after a disappointing 1-2 performance on their recent road trip.
With the playoffs looming, the Bucks aim to address their weaknesses, particularly after a game marred by poor 3-point shooting and key player Marvin Bagley's injury.
