Giannis posts triple-double as Bucks beat Butler-less Timberwolves

MILWAUKEE - Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 32 points and added 12 rebounds and ten assists, posting a triple-double in Milwaukee's 143-121 preseason win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday.

The Greek Freak got his triple-double despite playing just 25 minutes. Khris Middleton added 22, Christian Wood 19 for the Bucks, who start their regular season next week at Indiana.

The Timberwolves were without Jimmy Butler, who has been at odds with the organization of late. Butler requested a trade, and then showed up to practice Thursday and berated teammates, coaches and team ownership.
