In a thrilling NBA clash on Sunday, November 26, the Milwaukee Bucks clawed their way back from a 26-point deficit to secure a 108-102 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. This remarkable comeback marks the biggest of the season thus far.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks' star player, delivered a dominant performance with 33 points and 16 rebounds. His teammate, Damian Lillard, who faced his former team for the first time since his trade to Milwaukee, added 31 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
Lillard expressed the emotional nature of the game, stating, "It was a weird feeling" to play against his former teammates. However, he quickly regained his composure, adding, "I'm just happy we were able to get the win."
Portland, led by Jerami Grant's 22 points and Malcolm Brogdon's 18, held a commanding 68-52 lead at halftime and extended their advantage to 26 points early in the third quarter.
With less than three minutes remaining, Lillard's clutch three-pointer tied the game at 97-97. The score remained deadlocked at 102-102 until Antetokounmpo tipped in the go-ahead basket with just 18.5 seconds left on the clock.
A crucial block by Antetokounmpo on Brogdon and four free throws from Lillard sealed the victory for the Bucks.
