Bookend game for Dame today. 12 points in the 1st quarter got the @Bucks going early and 16 in the 4th took them home. Not a must win, but an important win in LA – 6:04 PM

Lillard hits a difficult running 3 on the move – even the home crowd here was forced to oooh in apprecation – and we might be about done.

16 fourth quarter points for Lillard, and for the 8th time in 8 afternoon starts the Clippers trail by double digits.

Dribbled to the middle of the floor, kicked it to Giannis Antetokounmpo in the pick and roll and then sprinted to get it back from Antetokounmpo on the left wing.

Good officiating waiting on Clips’ fast break to finish before assessing technical foul to Doc Rivers. Giannis stopped playing and stared at ref because he was so pissed about no-call on Theis, surprised he didn’t get one too. (Er, not sure the no-call part was good officiating) – 4:04 PM

More on this storyline
Damian Lillard moved up from No. 5 to No. 4 in the three-pointer all-time list after passing Reggie Miller -via HoopsHype / March 9, 2024
Chris Haynes: Reggie Miller to @BleacherReport on Damian Lillard surpassing him for 4th on NBA’s all-time 3-PTs made list (2,561): “Congratulations Dame on moving up the charts. I’ve always loved your mentality and approach as a shooter. You’ve put in the long hours required to call yourself one of the best in the world. Continued success.” -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / March 9, 2024
Eric Nahm: Bucks coach Doc Rivers tells reporters that he expects both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard to play tonight. -via Twitter @eric_nehm / March 8, 2024
Doc said about the need for you and Giannis to stay in the paint and that everyone else to stay out on the perimeter to help with point of attack [defense]. What’s the key to be able to have consistently? Brook Lopez: “It’s just trust. It’s trust. It changes your defensive mentality when you know you have someone behind you that is going to have your back. You’re not getting blown by beat, but you’re into your guy and you’re making it difficult for him. If he happens to get by you, someone is going to be there to back you up. It’s just about getting that trust. It’s hard to build. It can be a little uncomfortable to be up there and vulnerable like that. But you have to have that trust.” -via SportsKeeda / March 10, 2024
He expressed his interest in the Greek national team and desire to play in the 2024 Paris Olympics. “I would love to play in the Olympics. It’s far away, four or five months from now. I’m not gonna lie to you. In my mind right now… I’m not thinking about the Olympics. Sure, I watch the guys playing, and I saw the last win they had. They were awesome down there against the Netherlands. They turned the game around, played defense in the last few minutes, moved the ball around, got free shots, played really well.” -via EuroHoops.net / March 10, 2024
Greece has a new head coach in Vassilis Spanoulis, and Giannis expressed excitement about the prospect of playing under his guidance. “I would love to be a part of this team that has energy, playing with a lot of confidence, but it definitely comes from the coach, Vassilis Spanoulis. He played 18-20 years of basketball. He knows the game of basketball and allows you to showcase your talent. He also lets you play freely, and I think as long as you play to win and as long as you’re playing to help the team, he lets you do what you have to do to show your talent out there.” -via EuroHoops.net / March 10, 2024
