Giannis Antetokounmpo's 54 leads Bucks over fading Clippers (Los Angeles Times)

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.

returning to the starting lineup after a four-game absence because of a bruised rib, guard Luke Kennard went back to the bench and did not play in a coach’s decision connected to Lue’s avoidance of three-guard lineups he once used to feature off the bench. Of his 54 points, 30 were scored in the paint, on 65% shooting. When Milwaukee pulled ineffective center Brook Lopez — the Bucks were outscored by 32 points in his 23 minutes — and got Holiday going offensively in the third quarter after Holiday’s one-for-nine shooting start, the game tilted toward Milwaukee and Antetokounmpo, a most valuable player of the regular season and NBA Finals, kept running downhill toward the rim. But the Clippers didn’t fall to 29-26 and narrowly missed a rare opportunity to beat a winning team because of Antetokounmpo alone. You’ve just got to live and die with those things like that but those guys know they’re going to adjust next time they’re in that situation, I think it’s going to be a different result.” George, named an All-Star reserve before tipoff, had 16 points on six-of-16 shooting, but made one of his five shots in the final quarter.

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues his January form with a monster 54 point, 18 rebound performance in a comeback win over the Clippers.

Giannis outscored his opponents in the 4th quarter by himself as he put up 20 points in comparison to their 18. Joel Embiid has also climbed to #2 on the ladder. They were unable to score a single point during the last 3:52 of the game. Despite his 22 points in the first half – almost half of the Bucks’ total – Ty Lue elected to keep him under single coverage. The LA Clippers squandered a lead as big as 21 points in the 3rd quarter. With 7 minutes and change left, they led the game 76-55.

Winners of six in a row and eight of their last 10, they're now all alone in second place in the Eastern Conference at 35-17, just two games back of the I would be upset, but at least I know I missed four in a row, I'm gonna go the next day, try to work extremely hard at it and try for the best next time. "I never thought I'm gonna score 50 in the Coming into this season, Antetokounmpo had just three 50-point outings to his name in nine years; he now has three in the last month. [Ivica Zubac](/nba/players/2245326/ivica-zubac/) sat back in a deep drop to try and protect the rim. The only other player in Bucks franchise history to have as many 50-point games in one season is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Antetokounmpo scored 20 of his 54 points in the fourth -- outscoring the entire Clippers team in the frame -- and would not be denied down the stretch as the Bucks closed the game on 7-0 run over the final 3:52. [Paul George](/nba/players/1755181/paul-george/) hit a free throw to push the Clippers' advantage to 21 points. I try not to be scared of the moment and I just trust my work and hope most of the time the outcome's gonna be good." He either scored or assisted on eight straight points to jump start a late third-quarter run that helped the Bucks cut the deficit to single digits. Giannis is building our legacy; I'm glad to have a great seat to watch it." Everyone else who was lucky enough to have a seat inside Fiserv Forum on Thursday night felt the same way, including Antetokounmpo's teammates, who were carried along for the ride.

Giannis Antetokounmpo gets a little defensive help from his friends ... (The Athletic)

While Antetokounmpo outscored the Clippers in the fourth quarter, Jrue Holiday and Wes Matthews helped by putting the clamps on defense.

And I just trust my work and I hope most of the time, the outcome is going to be good.” The Bucks were tested by one of the few teams in the league that have the top-end talent necessary to truly make things difficult for them in the regular season and they came out on top. [Jrue Holiday](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/jrue-holiday-F5hrjac6YFBzx2nI/) had [wanted to play together for years](https://theathletic.com/3296337/2022/05/06/bucks-wesley-matthews-jrue-holiday/) before Bucks general manager Jon Horst finally put them together on the same team by signing Matthews as a free agent in December of 2021 last season. I try to create for myself, try to create for my teammates and just trust my skills. He scored those points through a real belief in his own skills and abilities, but he needed some help on the defensive side to hold the Clippers to 18 points in the final quarter. “But at the end of the day, no matter what the coverage is, I gotta be aggressive. If Antetokounmpo brought the ball up the floor, Zubac waited for him at the free-throw line, daring the two-time MVP to take a 3-pointer. If Antetokounmpo took a dribble inside the 3-point line, Zubac continued to back away from him and dared him to take midrange jumpers. At the end of the day, I try to be aggressive. In 37 minutes, Antetokounmpo made 21 of his 39 shots from the field, as well as 10 of his 15 free throws, on his way to his third 50-point outing of the season and the sixth 50-point game of his career. It was also his fifth game of the season with at least 45 points and 10 rebounds, which is the most in a season since Instead of putting Leonard on Antetokounmpo, Lue defended the Bucks’ star with a strong center — 7-foot, 240-pound [Ivica Zubac](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/ivica-zubac-OTPpn38MDEHT1u47/) — playing deep in the paint at all times.
