Surprisingly, the ball still bounced off the rim despite facing almost no interference.
The Knicks missed an opportunity to cut into the deficit.
Giannis secured the rebound, then immediately took off and pushed the transition again.
The Knicks' Offensive Efficiency was extremely high, which also meant the Bucks' defensive rebound total would inevitably be lower tonight. That made it even more important for Giannis to seize opportunities like this, where he could directly launch a transition attack.
After all, this was also an important part of his scoring arsenal.
He pushed the ball up alone.
Once Giannis fully opened his stride and accelerated, his speed in the open court was undoubtedly terrifying.

Most crucially, this Dayun truck even had an exceptionally well-tuned chassis~~
A simple Behind-the-Back Crossover easily got past Hartenstein in his path, and then he stormed across half court.
He took two more strides, charged into the Knicks' three-point line, and immediately unleashed his Domain Expansion.
He gathered one step inside the three-point line and took three steps, covering an absurd amount of ground in just two strides before finishing with a Finger Roll near the rim.
