However, with the game going into OT, Grayson Allen knocked down a clutch 3-pointer to secure a hard-fought and nail-biting 104-101 win over the 2019 NBA Champs.
Giannis was once again inspirational for the side as he knocked down 30 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists – a significant triple-double to lead his team closer to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. However, since we are talking about individual numbers. The Greek Freak also registered an unwanted record in this very game.

Per Stathead, only three players in NBA history have committed more turnovers in a single game. Talking about this particular list – Jason Kidd (14), John Drew (14), and Chris Mullin (13).
