The Portland Trail Blazers were left stunned tonight after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s career-high 44-point performance carried the Milwaukee Bucks to a 113-110 victory at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum’s 52 combined points were good enough to give the Blazers the lead in the final moments, but in the end, this night belonged to the Greek Freak. Portland was still able to remain competitive on the second night of a back-to-back, which will ease some of the pain of defeat.
