MILWAUKEE BUCKS-PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS 108-102
We’re all waiting to see the premiere of Lillard against his former teamand the Bucks’ No. 0 maybe feels the game, because it starts pulling hard but badly (2/8 with 1/4 three-pointers in the first quarter). Portland takes advantage of thiswho after the first 12 minutes found themselves ahead, 31-26. Porous defense and turnovers from the hosts launch the Blazers up to +18 at the end of a second quarter which ends with Milwaukee down 16 points (68-52), having conceded over 52% from the field and even 59% from three (10/17). The Blazers’ lead also reaches +26 at the start of the second half before the guests’ percentages from beyond the arc drop (the last 7 triples of the third quarter were all missed) and Milwaukee you take the opportunity to place a 14-0 partial which brings them closer, thus giving new interest to a final period that the Bucks still start chasing the Blazers, still leading by 13 points at 88-75. There home team’s comeback finds new life from two consecutive triples from Bobby Portis: Portland doesn’t score for over 6 minutes and then with a triple by Lillard with 2:53 left the Bucks tied the score at 97.
The ending is all for MilwaukeeThat closes with another 11-5 and clings to the usual Antetokunmpo (33 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks) and the late awakening of Lillard (31 with 13/14 free throws) to achieve a victory that marks the most sensational comeback so far this season in the entire league but it doesn’t erase a performance that was at times disappointing. To the Blazers they are not enough 22 of Jeramiah Grant not double doubles by Brogdon (18 and 12 assists, with also 8 rebounds) e Ayton (14 and 13 rebounds with 5/6 shooting): seventh win in the last eight for the Bucks which rises to 12 victories and 5 defeats.
