They passed victoriously through Los Angeles and their headquarters Clippers with leaders Giannis and Lillard the Bucks!
The Milwaukee team celebrated the win with 124-117 at Staples Center, with its stars both posting double-doubles, leading their team to the record 42-23. Thus, the “deers” continue to have the upper hand in the battle for the second place in the Eastern Conference in the NBA, while the hosts, who lined up without Leonard, George and Westbrook, fell to 41-22remaining in fourth place in the West.
Top for the winners were Lillard (35p, 11 assists), John (34p with 12/22 2-pointers, 10/15 shots, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block) and Beesley (17p), while for the losers they stood out Powell (26p), Zoobats (18π) and Coffee (16p, 10 rib).
Although the Bucks entered the first period with Lillard “hot” (3/3 three-pointers) and had a very good percentage from long range (7/15), they put up just four points through the racket and it was the home team who closed the first period being ahead of the score (33-29).
In the second twelve minutes, Antetokounmpo took initiatives and starred for his team offensively, but the Clippers managed to go to the locker room maintaining their small lead (62-59), before the “deer” fought back in the third twelve minutes, going ahead with 91- 85, and with 113-107, with a crazy three-pointer by Lillard. The Bucks never lost the lead in the fourth quarter, going all the way to a 117-124 final.
The twelve minutes: 33-29, 62-59, 85-91, 117-124
