The Milwaukee Bucks won Game 2 over the Atlanta Hawks 125-91. The Deer led by as many as 41 in a contest Atlanta was never really in.

Thanks to the domination, Giannis Antetokounmpo has done something only Shaquille O'Neal has done over the last 25 postseasons, and the incredible stat can be seen in a Tweet below from ESPN Stats & Info:

The Greek Freak lived up to his nickname, and he was sensational on both ends of the floor. In all, Giannis had 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists. He went 11-of-18 from field-goal range and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe.

Jrue Holiday had 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field and Khris Middleton chipped in 15.

For Atlanta, star Trae Young didn't shine too brightly. He scored just 15 points and had a whopping nine turnovers on a night when the Hawks couldn't get anything going.

The Bucks were 8.5-point favorites over the Atlanta Hawks for Game 2 in Milwaukee, according to FanDuel.

With the series now tied at one game apiece, play shifts to Atlanta, where the Hawks will look to get themselves back on track. Game 3 is Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
