NBA, Damian Lillard happy: winning comeback with Portland
Seventh win in last eight games for Milwaukee
A hard-fought victory. Milwaukee goes down, in front of the home crowd, by 26 points in the challenge with Portland, Lillard’s former team. However, the Bucks don’t raise the white flag and fight back in a big way, pulling off a stunning comeback and closing out the match with a big win (108-102).
Excellent performance by Antetokounmpo who scores an impressive 33 points, with also 16 rebounds. Not missing from the roll call was the former Lillard: 31 total points. For Milwaukee this is the seventh win in the last eight games played.
"Sometimes we make things difficult for ourselves. We shouldn’t start games this way. We should not finish 26 points down and then try to win the game. All this puts a strain on your body but I’m happy for the win", Antetokounmpo’s words reported by ESPN. "When I walked onto the court, I saw so many familiar faces and è it was strange. But once I started playing, I got over it easily", the statements of the'former Lillard.
