Antetokounmpo scores career-high 55 points as Bucks beat Wizards

MILWAUKEE: Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a career-high 55 points in a return from a one-game absence and the Milwaukee Bucks beat Washington 123-113 on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), snapping the Wizards' five-game winning streak.

Antetokounmpo has scored at least 40 points in three straight games for the first time in his career. The two-time MVP sat out a 118-95 loss to the Wizards on Sunday because of a sore left knee.
