The Clippers led as much as 21, but Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 54 points was enough to lead the Bucks to a 106-105 win over Los Angeles on Thursday.
Instead of a statement win, the Clippers left Milwaukee wondering where their offensive prowess had gone in the fourth quarter of aThe Clippers shot just eight-for-25 in the fourth quarter, with Kawhi Leonard missing two shots in the game’s final two possessions with a chance to win.
The All-Star captain made one of his first seven shots, either baited into midrange shots that aren’t his specialty or stonewalled on the rim attacks — by center Ivica Zubac, and a strip steal by Leonard — that have fueled his growth into a most valuable player of both the regular season and NBA Finals.NBA coaches voted Clippers’ Paul George as an All-Star, but Kawhi Leonard and Lakers’ Anthony Davis were not among those selected.
Instead, the Bucks outscored the Clippers 12-7 over the next five minutes before Antetokounmpo checked out to grab the lead and start, in earnest, the back-and-forth bout that was expected between teams that began the season with title ambitions. By halftime, even as Antetokounmpo had scored 16 of his 20 points in the paint by taking advantage of the Clippers’ lack of a backup big man, the Clippers still led by seven, powered by Powell’s 15 points in the quarter.
