Milwaukee coach hails 'great character win' as Antetokounmpo-Lillard bond blossoms

EVERYONE STEPPED UP FOR BUCKS

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 40 points on 18-for-26 shooting from the field to help rally the Milwaukee Bucks to a 132-125 "total team win" over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Nov 18.

Said Bucks coach Adrian Griffin: "It was a great character win. Back to back, short-handed... but everyone stepped up and it was a total team win."

Damian Lillard added 27 for the Bucks (9-4), who won their fourth consecutive game and their second in as many nights in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Said Antetokounmpo: "Every game that goes by, I'm going to be more comfortable (playing with Lillard). As we move forward, we're going to keep learning how to play with each other. It's getting better. It's a work in progress."

Pat Connaughton had 16 for Milwaukee, including a three-pointer with 56 seconds remaining to give the Bucks a five-point lead.

"Anything to win," he said, adding that the key to closing it out was: "Competitiveness. We've got guys that compete. Period."
