They have taken off and are not stopping Bucks! This time they went easy on me 127-108 from Portland hitting an eight-game winning streak and tied for second in the East (37-17), behind only the Celtics (38-16), while tied with the Nuggets for the second-best record in the entire NBA.
THE John Antetokounmpo, who a few hours before was named player of the week in the East for the second week in a row, continued his dominant performances. Although he played only 23 minutes, since he didn’t have to sweat more while being loaded with five fouls, he was a breath away from the triple-double. He finished the game with 24 points having 6/8 shots, 9/13 two-pointers and 0/1 three-pointers, as well as 13 rebounds and 8 assists, with his only blemish being 6 fouls.
THE Brooke Lopez had 27 points (breaking the 15,000 career mark), another 20 added by Jrue Holiday and Chris Middleton he scored 13 more off the bench. In the last four minutes he also played Thanasis Antetokounmpo having 1 rebound and 2 fouls.
For Portland, which fell to 26-28 and is struggling to make the playoffs, the Damian Lillard he had 28 points but with 7/18 shots, while another 21 had o Anfernie Simons.
Twelve minutes: 22-30, 48-58, 71-95, 108-127
