Giannis Antetokounmpo amassed an NBA season-high 59 points as the Milwaukee Bucks overturned an 18-point deficit to defeat the visiting Detroit Pistons 127-120 in overtime on Wednesday night.

It was Antetokounmpo's ninth 50-plus outing and the second-best of his career, after his 64-point effort against Indiana last season.
