Pretty pass from Damian Lillard to Giannis Antetokounmpo there. Antetokounmpo sealed his fronting defender and Lillard found him over the top.
That’s a tough pass. Middleton is typically the only one that throws it. Nice to see Lillard and Antetokounmpo find that connection. – 8:54 PM

Ed Conroy and The Citadel with a big win at Notre Dame.
Major rebuilding job for Micah Shrewsberry with this Irish job, but still a heck of a victory for The Citadel. – 8:46 PM

Spurs trail 44-26 after 1Q.
The 44 points matches the 1Q high for an opponent. Indiana also had 44 on Nov. 6 on their way to a 152-111 win.
Lillard has 19 points on 7 of 9 (4 of 6 from deep) after playing all 12 minutes. – 8:36 PM

Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little and Drew Eubanks return game. Nurkic and Little part of 3-team trade that sent Damian Lillard to Bucks and Deandre Ayton to Blazers.
Ayton’s 2nd game vs. Suns. Had 18 and 8 in return to Phoenix. #Suns #RipCity

Are we sure Scottie Barnes is an All-Star this year? He’s not a starter: Embiid, Giannis, and Tatum will get those spots.
Will he beat out (2 of whom will start in the backcourt):
Lillard
Maxey
Haliburton
Paolo
Brunson
Mitchell
Jimmy
Bam
Trae
Randle
Brown
Pascal – 10:17 AM

More on this storyline
NBA Communications: Milwaukee guard Damian Lillard enters tonight’s game needing six points to reach 20,000 for his career. He is set to become the 51st player in NBA history to achieve the milestone. The Bucks host the Spurs at 8 p.m. ET on the NBA App. -via Twitter / December 19, 2023
Maybe it’s not so much a track that Stephen Curry transforms every court into. Maybe in another world he’s in a Warriors kit, not a jersey, racing down the pitch. Gary Payton II knows the similarities between Curry and Damian Lillard firsthand, and the differences as well. In Steph though, Payton sees basketball’s Lionel Messi. “He reads a defense,” Payton said to NBC Sports Bay Area. “He’s kind of like Messi.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / December 16, 2023
They bob, they weave, slicing through a defense a select few ever have in any sport, unloading from distances only they can dare try. Curry and Messi, always making us rethink how we look at their respective sports. “Messi walks around on the pitch for a good couple minutes,” Payton continued. “He observes the field, you know, sees where all the weaknesses are and then he’ll start picking it up. Once he starts running, that means he’s found something and he’s going. That’s just like 30. With the great ones like that, you know, their mind works differently and they see things that, you know, normal guys don’t see.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / December 16, 2023
