Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Giannis Antetokounmpo finished off a smooth drive through the paint with a disgusting slam dunk during the Milwaukee Bucks' win against the Toronto Raptors.

The ferocious flush came in the second quarter of the 104-99 victory on Sunday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Milwaukee and Toronto were tied 30-30 with 9:20 remaining in the first half when "The Greek Freak" dribbled down the right flank.

Raptors guard O.G. Anunoby attempted to guard Antetokounmpo, but proved to be no match for his athleticism. Antetokounmpo got Anunoby off-balance with a cross over just outside of the 3-point line. He then dashed toward the paint, picking up the basketball while taking giant steps toward the basket. Antetokounmpo cradled the ball above his head, lifting it over Anunoby before putting it in his right hand for a powerful dunk.

"The Greek Freak" led the Bucks with 19 points, 19 rebounds and six assists. Brook Lopez also poured in 19 points for the Bucks.

Serge Ibaka scored a game-high 22 points for the Raptors.

The Bucks host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8 p.m. on Monday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Antetokounmpo has at least 15 points in every game this season. The 24-year-old is also averaging a career-best 13.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists this season, in addition to his 26.5 points per game.
