Giannis Antetokounmpo put in a dominant 41-point display as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Chicago Bulls 122-106.
Antetokounmpo reached the 40-point mark for the third time this season, adding eight rebounds and nine assists.
Team-mates Brook Lopez and Damian Lillard chipped in with 21 and 20 points respectively as the Bucks improved their record to 6-9 in the NBA this season.
The Bucks are enjoying something of a resurgence after winning four of their last five games, having won only two of their first 10 as they climbed to ninth.
Zach LaVine top scored with 27 points for the Bulls, who reduced their deficit to 104-102 with just under eight minutes left before the Bucks pulled away.
Giannis is inevitable.
