Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard Reacts To Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton Heroics Vs. Warriors
The Milwaukee Bucks had to dig deep on Saturday night as they hosted a Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors side at the Fiserv Forum. Despite not having their best player available, the Dubs still managed to put up a respectable challenge against the Bucks.
In the end, it required some late-game heroics from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton for the Bucks to secure a 129-118 victory.
Giannis, Middleton Come Through for Milwaukee Bucks
Saturday night’s bout turned out to be a back-and-forth battle between two unrelenting teams. The Bucks, however, used a 46-point surge in the final quarter to finally dispose of their opponents on the evening.
Giannis (33 points, nine rebounds) and Middleton (24 points, 10 assists) combined for 28 points in the final frame as the Bucks shot 19-of-27 in the fourth to close out Golden State. After the game, Damian Lillard could not help but heap praise on his superstar teammates after yet another heroic display in crunch time:
“I just think that that just shows our ability,” Lillard said, via Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “We have the kind of talent on this team that we can have stretches like that. For us, it’s understanding the beauty of having that but also not leaning on that too much. It’s not often that you’re going to be able to go into a quarter and say all right, we’re going to make 19 field goals out of 27. That doesn’t happen often, no matter how good you are. It speaks to what we’re capable of, but it’s not something that we want to lean on to win the game.”
Lillard wasn’t bad himself either, going for 27 points on 9-of-19 shooting. The seven-time All-Star also logged six rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and just one turnover in 38 minutes of action.
If Milwaukee’s Big 3 keeps this up, this team will be very hard to beat.

May 10 (UPI) — Wes Edens, the billionaire co-founder of Fortress Investment Group and an owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, was the target of a billion-dollar extortion scheme allegedly perpetrated by an ex-lover, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
A spokesman for Edens, 64, confirmed to the newspaper that the financier is the unnamed alleged victim in a federal indictment brought against Changli “Sophia” Luo of New York City.
Edens, one of world’s most successful global investment management firm leaders with Fortress, has developed and owned businesses in real estate, transportation, infrastructure, health care, financial services, media and entertainment.
He is also a high-profile sports team owner, including the Bucks and soccer club Aston Villa of the English Premier League. He is credited turning the Bucks from a perennial cellar dweller into a champion squad over a five-year span, culminating in the 2021 NBA championship.
But he also fell victim to a lurid alleged “sextortion” scheme, his spokesman confirmed to the WSJ, admitting the Edens is the unnamed “Victim 1” cited an indictment filed last year in Manhattan federal court against Luo.
The indictment reportedly accuses her of trying to extort Victim 1 of more than $1 billion by threatening to release videos and photos of them engaged in sex. Prosecutors alleged Luo also threatened to contact the victim’s family members and business partners in a threat to destroy his fortune if he did not pay up.
According to the indictment, Luo was arrested June 14 at JFK International Airport as she tried to board a flight to China, the New York Post reported.
“Mr. Edens will be making no comment on the case as the indictment speaks for itself with respect to the charges against the defendant,” his spokesman told the Journal. “Mr. Edens expects to testify under oath at the upcoming trial.”
