After a very poor showing against the Sixers, the Kings traveled to Milwaukee for a battle against the Bucks. It took five extra minutes, but the Bucks found a way to pull out a 143-142 overtime victory on a Dame Lillard backbreaker. Here are six quick thoughts: – 9:57 PM

Each member of the Bucks’ Big 3 scored 20+ points last night, but Andre Jackson’s second-half play flipped the momentum last night.
“When you get more experience, you get more opportunity, the game starts to slow down for you.” – Lillard

More on this storyline
Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo seconded Lillard’s assignment, telling reporters that he had never seen anything like that before from one of his teammates. “It’s incredible,” Antetokounmpo said. “Not to discredit Khris (Middleton) in any way, shape or form, I’ve played with this guy 11 years, 720 games with him, this was the toughest shot I’ve ever seen anybody make to win a game up close. “It was tough. Because not only did he slow down, he kind of did an in-and-out and took a step away from the defense, jumped and while he was in the air, faded. And still was able to get it there. I don’t think it touched the rim. It was all net. At the end of the day, that’s why you get paid the big bucks.” -via The Athletic / January 15, 2024
Mike Lynch: Per my research, Damian Lillard now has 4 career game-winning 3-point buzzer-beaters That is the second most such shots in NBA history Only Vince Carter has more (5) basketball-reference.com/friv/buzzer-be… -via Twitter @SportInfo247 / January 14, 2024
Eric Nehm: Bucks coach Adrian Griffin told reporters that the final play was drawn up to get the ball into Giannis Antetokounmpo and then tossed right back to Damian Lillard with a screen from Brook Lopez. Lopez saw the denial, flashed to the ball and kickstarted Lillard up the floor. -via Twitter @eric_nehm / January 14, 2024
