The Lillard-less Blazers’ losing streak extended to three games following a 137-129 loss to the Bucks on Thursday. Carmelo Anthony’s game wasn’t perfect, but it was slightly better than his 4-14 shooting performance against the Pelicans. Melo finished with a 6-15 shooting night from the field for 18 points. Outside of Melo, CJ McCollum led the way for Portland with 37 points in 38 minutes of action.
For the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo overcame a poor shooting night to notch a monstrous triple-double. The reigning MVP finished with 24 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists.
