Damian Lillard led Milwaukee with 36 points (11-of-22 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, five triples and eight turnovers in a 116-114 loss to Cleveland on Monday.
In the two games since Lillard was only able to muster up four points in a loss to the Grizzlies, he has totaled 77 points and 15 triples in two losses to the Cavs. The result hasn’t been different, but Dame has been the player that they traded for last summer to help bring another ring to Milwaukee. Unfortunately, a 1-6 start doesn’t have them on track to do that this season, even if they didn’t have Giannis Antetokounmpo available for this game. They have two days off before hosting the Jazz, which will be a great matchup to potentially get their second win of the year before they close out the week with games against the Knicks and Celtics.
