Indeed, New York went 3-0 against Milwaukee last season, winning those games by an average margin of 22 points, which was on Antetokounmpo's mind entering this game.

"They were way better than us last year and we didn't make it tough for them," Antetokounmpo said after scoring 37 points, grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out seven assists. "It was very easy in my opinion. And as the leader of this team, I remember.
