Due to a lack of available size, the 76ers were forced to play small and quickly, which isn’t always the simplest strategy against the Bucks.
During the first three quarters, Damian Lillard only went 3 for 12 as the 76ers dominated, caged, and face-guarded him from the entire court.
However, he claimed to have spotted several defensive lapses and helped the Bucks win by scoring 16 points in the fourth quarter.
He became the 38th player in NBA history to reach the 22,000-point milestone, finishing with 25 points on 7 of 17 shots.
Milwaukee was paced by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who finished with 34 points (13 of 17 shooting), 15 rebounds, and six assists.
