Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO put on a fine display, scoring 43 points to help the Milwaukee Bucks to a 125-115 win over the Detroit Pistons.
The 26-year-old scored 30 of the Bucks' 67 first-half points before a superb late block and put-back basket to end the Pistons' comeback hopes.
The Bucks now have four wins but lie in 7th place in the current standings, while the Philadelphia 76ers lead the Eastern Conference on six wins and one loss.
The Bucks would be looking to continue their winning streak as they face the Pistons in the return fixture on Thursday.
