MILWAUKEE — Damian Lillard had his third straight game with at least 30 points. He made his two biggest plays on the other end of the floor.
Lillard had 30 points and 12 assists and made two late steals as the Milwaukee Bucks capitalized on Giannis Antetokounmpo's return to beat the Brooklyn Nets 115-108 on Thursday night.
The first of those two steals led to the winning basket after the Nets overcame a 20-point deficit to take the lead.
"I think in my career, I haven't been known as a defender, but down the stretch of games, I've always been able to have a moment or do what I needed to do at the end of the game defensively," said Lillard, who has averaged 31 points and 11.
