Damian Lillard’s remarkable 41-point performance propelled the Milwaukee Bucks (41-21) to a hard-fought 113-106 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers (39-21).
Despite the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo due to left Achilles tendinitis, the Bucks extended their winning streak to six games by taking down one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
Missing key players like Khris Middleton, the Bucks relied on standout performances from Lillard and Bobby Portis to secure the win.
Portis emerged as a pivotal figure for the Bucks, tallying 28 points and a season-high 16 rebounds off the bench.
James Harden and Paul George led the charge for the Clippers with 29 points each, but their efforts weren’t enough to withstand the Bucks’ late surge.
