Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo after Game 7 win vs. Nets: 'The job's not done'

Giannis Antetokounmpo is on his way to the Eastern Conference Finals after the Milwaukee Bucks eliminated the Brooklyn Nets with a 115-111 Game 7 overtime win on Saturday night. 

However, the two-time MVP knows his work isn't done, and the Bucks will have to be ready to face either the Philadelphia 76ers or Atlanta Hawks. 

"At the end of the day, the job's not done. The job is not done," Antetokounmpo told reporters after the win. "So that's the message here, that's the message in the locker room. We can't get too high, or too low. We didn't win the championship… We got to enjoy this moment, but once we realize who is the next opponent, we have to put this in the past and focus on our next opponent."

Overcoming the title-favorite Nets is a huge accomplishment for Antetokounmpo, but it's no surprise he wants more. 

The 26-year-old was phenomenal in Game 7, notching 40 points with 13 boards and five assists. If he continues to play at a high level, the Bucks could reach the NBA Finals for the first time since the 1973-74 campaign.
