Bucks' Damian Lillard Credits Adversity For Better Team Chemistry With Giannis

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard credits adversity for better team chemistry.

The pairing of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard appears to finally be clicking as the Milwaukee Bucks hoped when they acquired Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers over a year ago. When the Bucks initially brought in Lillard, there was belief that the team would instantly become championship contenders again by pairing together the two superstars.

Over the past two games, in particular, the pairing has already looked much improved. In the Bucks' 129-117 win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday, Lillard connected with Antetokounmpo on multiple assists, and Lillard finished with a double-double as Antetokounmpo recorded 37 points and a triple-double. In the following game against the Charlotte Hornets, both Lillard and Antetokounmpo scored over 30 points.

“Sometimes, when you experience tough times and people are talking about our team and saying all types of stuff about our our guys individually, they put you in a situation where it’s really just us," Lillard said, via Eric Nehm of“I think just kind of honestly are getting to the point where we’re tuning everybody else out,” Lillard explained.
