that’s why the dame and giannis combo is lethal

[@eddydesir7702]

That's what makes this duo so lethal. The spurs made it a point to try to stop Giannis. He was triple teamed every time he hit the paint. So he decided to become a playmaker and let everyone else score. If the team sells out on Dame, Giannis will score 40. Some nights they both will
