Damian Lillard

LAS VEGAS - As Giannis Antetokounmpo walked off the floor to roaring "MVP" chants with the NBA Cup firmly in the Milwaukee Bucks' grasp, there was a sense of accomplishment for a player who has already reached the pinnacle of professional basketball.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points and 17 rebounds, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the Bucks' career rebounding leader, and Damian Lillard scored 39 points in Milwaukee's 128-119 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.

Atlanta – Luka Dončić appeared in the NBA All-Star Game as a starter for a second time in his career in Atlanta on Sunday, having become the third pick of LeBron James, the team captain for the Western Conference.

Milwaukee's Michael Carter-Williams scored eight of his 22 points in the fourth quarter on April 27 as the Bucks again fended off elimination with a 94-88 NBA playoff win over the Chicago Bulls.
