Doc Rivers: “Dame just has great courage…Whether he’s on fire or not, he just has this thing in him that he believes that he should take the last shot and make the last shot.” – 10:47 PM

Dame is 1/18 from three over the last 3 games — but with Bucks needing a bucket he delivered with an aggressive take to the rim. We’ll take it! – 10:25 PM

That’s a nasty left-hand finish by Damian Lillard switching hands underneath the rim. – 9:05 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s a pretty fastbreak for the Bucks.
Kick ahead pass from Lillard to Green. Green back to Lillard. Lillard to Trent.
Trent with the right corner 3. – 8:44 PM

After one quarter, the Rockets lead, 28-27, after those three free throws from Damian Lillard.
Brook Lopez bailed the Bucks out in a major way in that first quarter. He’s 5-of-6 from the field and 3-of-4 from 3 for 13 points and he’s grabbed three rebounds. – 8:39 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Ime Udoka with a challenge with one second left in the first quarter. Challenging a late foul called on Eason on a Lillard 3. Eason got ball. Question is if the follow through got Lillard. – 8:34 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Ime Udoka is going to use his challenge on this 3-point attempt by Damian Lillard.
Call on the floor is a foul on Tari Eason. – 8:34 PM

“The state is a state on panic and maybe a little bit of denial.”
@DavidDTSS isn’t a believer in the Giannis-Dame tandem 😳 pic.x.com/xjBzfFaFLb – 4:05 PM
