Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered his second triple-double since joining the Miami Heat, putting up 31 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists as Miami beat the Indiana Pacers 145-125 in their NBA Cup opener on Friday night. The performance was another statement from the Greek superstar, who has been finding his footing in a new system since making the move to Miami. The Heat entered the NBA Cup on the back of back-to-back wins after a rough 0-4 start to the Giannis era, and this was their most convincing performance yet. It was also Miami's first home win of the season, a milestone that carries weight given how the year began. The NBA Cup group stage is now underway, and Miami looks like a team starting to figure things out with Antetokounmpo at the center of everything. #Giannis #MiamiHeat #NBAcup
