Damian Lillard scored 27 points for the visiting Milwaukee Bucks, who spoiled the return to action of Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges in a 130-99 victory Friday night during an NBA in-season tournament game.

The Bucks also received 20 points from Malik Beasley. Lillard and Beasley combined to make 11 of 20 shots from 3-point range as part of Milwaukee's 22-for-45 (48.9 percent) shooting from deep.

Bridges, who was suspended for the season's first 10 games, was back after a 583-day gap between games related to a domestic violence case.
