Damian Lillard with the pick-six that he takes the length of the court for a bucket plus the foul and the Bucks lead, 134-126, with 2:11 left.
Lillard up to 41pts/10ast on the night. – 5:29 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Ivey got stuck and turned it over. Lillard gets a 3-point play on the other end. Bucks are up 134-126. Killer sequence for Detroit – 5:29 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Ivey turnover leads to a Dame and-1. That might do it.
Bucks are about to be up by eight.
Bogey with some missed 3s down the stretch. – 5:29 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Entire arena wanted that travel call. Lillard got away with one – 5:25 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Dame got away with a travel and Giannis gets rewarded with free throws. This crowd is irate. – 5:25 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Dame just got away with a travel lol – 5:25 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
9-0 run from the Bucks over the last two minutes and the Bucks lead, 126-121, with 4:40 left.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is up to 27pts/7reb/9ast on the afternoon. Damian Lillard is leading the Bucks with 36pts/10ast, but hasn’t scored in the fourth quarter. – 5:21 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Bucks have gone 60 seconds without either Dame or Giannis on the floor and Detroit leads after back-to-back Mike Musacala 3s.
Everyone still freaking out about Bagley doing Bagley things in his Wizards debut? – 5:01 PM
Ball Don’t Lie @Balldontlie
Damian Lillard through three quarters vs. Detroit:
▪ 36 PTS
▪ 9 AST
▪ 5-10 3PT
Dame scored 19 points in the third quarter 🔥 pic.twitter.com/0PXKFimlv0 – 5:00 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard scored 19 points in the third quarter and he’s now at 36 points and nine assists for the game, but the Bucks still only lead by five points.
Bucks up, 103-98, heading to the fourth quarter. – 4:58 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
END OF 3Q: Bucks 103, Pistons 98. Outside of a horrid first four minutes, when Ausar checked in and Ivey moved to lead guard, Detroit played OK.
Dame went nuclear for like 60 seconds. Burks hits a 3 right before the end of the frame.
Should be a good ending. – 4:58 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
End of the 3rd quarter: #Bucks 103, #Pistons 98.
Burks: 21 pts, 5 rebs, 3 asts
Ivey: 16 pts, 4 rebs, 4 asts (4 fouls)
Bogdanovic: 16 pts
Thompson: 11 pts, 7 rebs
Damian Lillard: 36 pts, 4 rebs, 9 asts (11-20 FG; 5-10 3PT; 9-9 FT) – 4:57 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Lillard is starting to cook. He’s up to 34 points on 11-19 from the field. 5 triples. – 4:54 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Dame is doing Dame things – 4:54 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Damian Lillard answers Gallinari’s 3 with one of his own. Bucks lead 98-91. – 4:53 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Gallo hits a 3. First field goal as a Piston. Lillard answered on the other end and has 31 points. He’s been on fire – 4:52 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks have created some really good looks from 3 here in the third quarter and just aren’t making them. They’re 1-of-5 from deep after Lillard missed that last catch-and-shoot look.
Pistons sticking around. Bucks up, 82-78, with 6:07 left in the third quarter. – 4:41 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons just left four points right at the rim. Dame hits a 3.
Pistons down by nine. – 4:33 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Duren missed a rotation and Lillard had a wide open 3. Luckily for Detroit, he missed and Ivey knocked down a triple on the other end. – 4:32 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Halftime: Bucks 70, Pistons 67. Detroit led 62-54 with 3:26 to go. Milwaukee closed with a 16-5 run to take control. Lillard hit a 3 with 0.3 seconds on the clock. Pistons have played well, but that stretch is costly.
Bogdanovic: 15 points
Burks: 14 points – 4:11 PM

HALFTIME: Bucks 70, Pistons 67. Dame Time just before half.
Detroit was better for 85 percent of first half and still goes into halftime down.
Burks: 14 points
Bogey: 15 points – 4:10 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Ivey just fouled Lillard while shooting a 3 and he’s going to the line for three. – 4:00 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Not having Dame or Giannis on the floor is…a choice. – 3:52 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
All-bench unit with two guys that just got here three days ago has outplayed a Bucks lineup that features both Dame and Giannis.
Detroit has been playing solid-to-good hoops for about a week now.
Pistons 38, Bucks 34 after the 1Q.
Burks: 9 points
Muscala: 6 points – 3:37 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
One way for Sasser to get a rhythm back? Go against Dame. – 3:35 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
I’m not a fan of using your challenge in the 1Q, but Duren didn’t foul Dame there. – 3:25 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
A middle pick-and-roll from Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo gives Antetokounmpo the opportunity to draw a foul and go to the free throw line.
He hits the first and the Bucks have their first point of the day. – 3:13 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Devin Booker becomes the first player since Damian Lillard’s 71-point night last season to put together multiple 20-point quarters in the same game, per @Stathead. – 10:07 PM
Robin Lopez @rolopez42

More on this storyline

StatMuse: Dame today: 45 PTS 6 REB 11 AST 5 3P The first player in franchise history to reach those numbers. statmuse.com/nba/player/dam… -via Twitter @statmuse / January 20, 2024
As a result, rival executives say Portland is viewing Grant as a positive trade asset, whereas some were hoping the Blazers would sell high on Grant early in his five-year contract as more of a neutral asset. Thus, executives believe Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon is more likely to be dealt than Grant if Portland makes a trade at the deadline since he’s considered less expensive to acquire. Rival executives who spoke with HoopsHype believe a fair asking price for Brogdon is a first-round pick and salary filler . However, despite an initial belief from various executives around the league that Grant would become a strong trade candidate following his extension with the Blazers and after trading franchise star Damian Lillard to the Bucks, the Blazers have signaled to rival teams that they won’t part with Grant easily ahead of the deadline. In Portland, Grant is viewed as a good locker room leader, a compliment to the team’s core of young guards on the roster, and has maintained his two-way versatility and efficient three-point shooting at a career-high clip of 41.2 percent. -via HoopsHype / January 18, 2024
