Giannis Antetokounmpo\u2019s frustration was evident after the Milwaukee Bucks\u2019 119-118 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 5, marking their third straight first-round playoff exit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel good,\u201d said Giannis, who posted a historic triple-double with 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists. \u201cI have to look in the mirror and get better. We work hard and play the right way. Losing hurts, but we have to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pressed on whether he still sees his future in Milwaukee, Giannis declined: \u201cI\u2019m not going to go there. I just wish I was still playing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Greek star also lamented not being able to win for Damian Lillard, who ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 after returning early from a blood clot. \u201cWe owed this game to Dame,\u201d Giannis said.<\/p>\n
Despite a strong start and 33 points from Gary Trent Jr., costly late turnovers let Indiana close the game on an 8-0 run. Bucks coach Doc Rivers praised Giannis\u2019s all-around effort: \u201cHe was amazing\u2014playmaking, scoring, doing it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giannis hinted this game may preview his evolution: \u201cBeing a real point forward might be my next phase. If I return next year, I want to help in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
