Damian Lillard's Viral Instagram Post After Mavs-Bucks Game
On Saturday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Dallas Mavericks (at home) by a score of 132-125.
They went into the fourth quarter trailing by nine points, but won the final period by a score of 43-27.
All-Star point guard Damian Lillard had a big night, putting up 27 points, three rebounds, 12 assists and one steal while shooting 7/18 from the field and 4/11 from the three-point range in 38 minutes of playing time.
After the game, he made a post to Instagram, and there were over 312,000 likes and 600 comments in less than 24 hours.
Lillard captioned his photos: "🙏🏽"
Lillard is now averaging 24.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 39.8% from the field and 31.6% from the three-point range in 11 games.
After spending the first 11 seasons of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers, Lillard was traded to the Bucks in a blockbuster deal over the offseason.
With the victory over the Mavs, the Bucks improved to 9-4 in their first 13 games, which has them as the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
They are in the middle of a four-game winning streak and 6-1 in the seven games they have hosted on their home floor in Wisconsin.
The Bucks will play their next game against Jordan Poole and the Washington Wizards on Tuesday evening in Washington, D.C.
Last season, they were the first seed in the Eastern Conference but lost to the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
