The Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 26-point hole to defeat the Portland TrailBlazers, as Antetokounmpo, 25, explains

After overcoming a 26-point deficit, the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Portland TrailBlazers 108-102.

With the assistance of Damian Lillard, who scored 31 points in his first game back against his former team, Milwaukee pulled off the biggest comeback victory of the season.

It was “a weird feeling,” according to Lillard, who played for 11 seasons in Portland until being traded to Milwaukee in September, to play against old teammates.
