Watch: Damian Lillard hits game-winning 3 for Bucks in win over Kings
Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard hit a deep three-point shot as time expired Sunday night to lift his team to a 143-142 overtime win over the Sacramento Kings.
The Bucks trailed 142-140 at home after Kings guard De’Aaron Fox hit one of two free throws with 5.2 seconds on the clock.
The Bucks got the Ball to Lillard who raced past the half-court line and shot a step-to-the side leaning three to win the game.
That, of course, led to Lillard pointing to his wrist to signal that it was, “Dame Time.”
It was the 2,500th made three-pointer of Lillard’s career career.
“I just changed direction and got into space where I could get a good look at the rim,” Lillard told reporters. “It was a pretty comfortable shot. These are the kinds of game that you don’t want to let them slip. It’s a quality win against a good team.”
Lillard, in his first season with Milwaukee after being traded by the Blazers last offseason, is averaging 25.1 points and 6.8 assists for the Bucks (28-12), who have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.
