The Miami Heat earn their first win of the season with Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Miami Heat earned their first victory of the NBA season on Wednesday by defeating the Atlanta Hawks 129-117, thanks to a standout performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who tallied 24 points and 18 rebounds.

The victory came on the team's fifth attempt since the start of the season and following the addition of the Greek star, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), who was expected to propel Miami into the ranks of the Eastern Conference contenders.

Antetokounmpo, who had recorded a triple-double in the loss to the Dallas Mavericks two nights earlier, once again put on a standout performance. Bam Adebayo also contributed 24 points and nine rebounds, while Andrew Wiggins added 18 points.

The game also marked two individual milestones. Antetokounmpo reached 1,000 steals in his professional career, and Adebayo became the Heat's all-time leading rebounder by surpassing the 5,791 rebounds accumulated by Udonis Haslem.

Philadelphia comes back against Indiana
