Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his scorching-hot start to this season Monday night, when he buried a buzzer-beating game winner to lift the Milwaukee Bucks to a 117-115 road victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Antetokounmpo nailed a 16-foot fadeaway over two Pacers defenders as time expired to move the Bucks to 5-2. After the ball fell through the net, Antetokounmpo sprinted to the other end of the court and shushed the Pacers crowd as he was mobbed by his teammates.

Antetokounmpo finished with a game-high 33 points on 14-for-21 shooting with 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals. It was Antetokounmpo’s fifth 30-point night in six game appearances. He’s averaging a career-best 34 points this season.
