Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks cruised to a home victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Despite playing the second night of a back-to-back set, the Bucks displayed greater intensity and focus on both sides of the court. A balanced attack, spearheaded by Antetokounmpo’s game-high 30 points, dominated the visiting Pelicans.
With the two-time MVP and starters taking early rest, Bucks supporters at Fiserv Forum created a party scene. Every time New Orleans misses a free throw, spectators get free chicken wings, which amps up the enjoyment.
Naji Marshall, the Pelicans’ backup forward, was at the free throw line with 2:47 remaining in the game. He botched both of his attempts, driving the audience into a frenzy. When the QR code for the free dinner appeared on the large screen, practically everyone scanned it with their phones.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is well-known for his love of chicken wings. He once began eating a bucket in front of reporters at a news conference. In January 2022, the Bucks were reeling from a humiliating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers when the “Greek Freak” was forced to conduct his postgame interview.
Antetokounmpo almost didn’t hesitate to take mouthful after bite while answering questions. While he is renowned for pulling occasional pranks, the All-Star forward appeared to enjoy his lunch. He couldn’t wait to taste one, despite the media’s focus on him after the blowout loss to the Cavaliers.

The recently named Eastern Conference All-Star team captain probably won’t have to worry about chicken wings for dinner. Milwaukee will not hesitate to make it happen for him after every game, whether at home or away.
Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered another outstanding performance. He totaled 30 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and two steals. More significantly, he guided the team to a comeback victory following a disappointing 112-100 home loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
