Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo believes they are "trending towards the right direction" after their win against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Greek forward's dunk with under five seconds to go gave the Bucks a 122-121 victory at Fiserv Forum, marking their third win in their last four games.

Antetokounmpo finished the game with 30 points, shooting 61% from the field, 10 rebounds and five assists, setting a new NBA game record for the most games with that stat line (158).

Doc Rivers' side now face a four-game road trip as they look to make their way up the Eastern Conference, and Antetokounmpo is confident in the path they are following.

"It feels good. We have won three of the last four. We are a good place," said the two-time MVP.

"Do I wish that we could win the previous game too [114-113 loss to the Washington Wizards]? Yes. But we are in a good place.

"We are going to a West Coast trip, four games. Four hard games. We got to fight, give our best, compete in all games on at a time and hopefully we can come out of this on the winning side.

"But we are playing, we are playing. We are not there yet, but we are trending towards the right direction."

The Bucks are 11th in the East, just outside the play-in positions, with a record of 15-20 on the season.

They will face the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets on their upcoming road trip.
