Lillard's Clutch Performance Powers Bucks to Narrow Win Over Rockets

Posted : 19 November 2024

Damian Lillard played a key role in the Milwaukee Bucks' thrilling 101-100 victory over the Houston Rockets, hitting a clutch basket with just 3.9 seconds remaining. The Rockets had been in control, leading 100-94 with under two minutes left, but Lillard responded with two free throws, assisted AJ Green for a three-pointer, and then made a driving layup to secure the comeback. Lillard finished with 18 points and 10 assists, while Brook Lopez contributed 27 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 20.

 

Lillard, who was returning from a three-game concussion absence, expressed some frustration after the game, acknowledging that he didn’t feel completely himself. "Normally when something is wrong with me I feel like I can will myself through it, but this was probably one of the first times in my life and definitely in my NBA career where I was like 'something is off,'" he said. Despite these concerns, his performance was pivotal in the Bucks’ victory.

 

The Rockets, who were on a five-game winning streak, saw their run come to an end. They had led by 14 points at one point but faltered in the final minutes. Fred VanVleet scored 26 points, and Jalen Green added 21, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the Bucks' late surge. With the loss, Houston remains in fourth place in the Western Conference.

 

In another close contest, the Los Angeles Clippers held off a late rally from the Golden State Warriors, winning 102-99. Norman Powell led the Clippers with 23 points, including five three-pointers, while Stephen Curry scored 26 for the Warriors. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue praised his team for maintaining composure as they staved off the Warriors' comeback. The Clippers sit in ninth place in the West, while the Warriors are in second.
