Milwaukee Bucks improved to 30-24 in the season 116-110 Victory over Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday evening. It was their first game after the All-Star break, a competition for which many fans couldn’t wait, but few were optimists when it comes to winning, considering the message that appeared in the hours preceding the tip-off.
Earlier on Thursday it was reported that the age -old candidate for the sixth man of the year Bobby Portis, who has an average of 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per match this season, was suspended by NBA by NBA 25 matches for violating the league drug policy. In the statements of Portis, his agent and bundles that followed the report, it was revealed that the unsuccessful test took place a few months ago and was the result when the striker’s star was forbidden by mistake.

Milwaukee Bucks defeated Los Angeles Clippers 116-110
While he had some pessimism in the game with Clippers, Bucks fans were treated for a very amusing and tough competition. After the fight to keep the pace with Los Angeles in the first quarter, forward Kyle Kuzma I came up with a three -quarter shot in a buzzer and lowered it, reducing the deficit to one.
In the second quarter, Milwaukee overtook Clippers on the back of sizzling shooting and brilliant defense.
After leading 57-50 during the break, the fights of the third quarter of Bucks returned. The team committed over 10 revolutions during this period and allowed Clippers to cover 89-80 in the fourth quarter.
It is surprising that Giannis started the fourth quarter, even though many thought that the main coach of Doc Rivers would save him for the last six minutes of the game. It turned out that it was a great decision. Greek Freak played inspired with basketball and led Milwaukee in a few brief minutes in which he was on the floor.
He finished the game with 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists and one of his characteristic blocks, all in just 24 minutes of the game.

This record is impressive for two reasons. First of all, Wembanyama is only in the league in the second year and is only 21 years elderly. It really shows how great the player is. Unfortunately, his season came to an end after doctors discovered a blood clot in his shoulder.
The second reason is that Lopez did not start to do and make three points until the ninth NBA season. He is one of the best examples of a player who was humble enough to develop his game to adapt to the times. Indeed, his ability to become a reliable three -point shooter probably extended his career by several years.
