Damian Lillard lived up to the hype in his debut with the Bucks on Thursday night. The seven-time All-Star recorded a game-high 39 points along with eight rebounds and four assists in a 118–117 win over the visiting 76ers.
Lillard notched Milwaukee’s final five points, including a clutch three-pointer, to clinch the victory. He scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, leading to a record-high scoring total for a player making his Bucks debut.
