Giannis Antetokounmpo called it the 'toughest' shot he's ever seen anyone hit in person to win a game
MILWAUKEE -- As the season approached the mid-way point, Damian Lillard's Milwaukee Bucks teammates had a gripe with their new All-Star point guard: There was not enough wrist tapping. Late on Sunday night, they finally got their wish. Not only did they get to see Lillard's iconic celebration, they got to join in on the fun as "Dame Time" officially arrived in Milwaukee.
"I kept telling them," Lillard said. "I do it when it's necessary. Tonight, it was necessary."
With 5.2 seconds remaining in overtime, the Bucks trailed by two and had a chance to go for the tie or the win. Lillard chose the latter. After inbounding the ball to Brook Lopez, he took a handoff from the big man near half-court, dribbled four times and side-stepped into a 30-footer.
