Milwaukee Bucks scored, among others: Score 130-112 over the Toronto Raptors at home on Friday night, and Damian Lillard played a key role in the victory.
Eight-time NBA All-Star 26 points, three rebounds, eight assists, two steals and four three-pointers. He has scored at least 25 points in five of his last seven appearances.
According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, Lillard’s shooting percentage has increased over the last few games, and it’s no coincidence that the Milwaukee Bucks have won six of their last seven games.
When Lillard entered the 2025 calendar year following an illness, he shot just 32.4 percent from the field. In recent matches, the 34-year-old defender left the field 59 out of 111 (53.2 percent).
Damian Lillard owes his latest success to a Milwaukee Bucks assistant
Damian Lillard was at his worst when the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this year. When Lillard struggled with his shot, he received helpful advice from assistant Vin Baker, a former four-time NBA All-Star, that helped him get over the shock.
“We had a really long phone conversation where he basically said it’s time for you to just go and be who you are… Don’t worry about anything and be Dame Lillard. And that freed me up a little bit.” Lillard stated via Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
“I think this conversation really did something for me. That’s the only thing that has changed, other than like I said, I do the same thing. I stay in my routine. And that’s it,” he concluded.
