Despite having stars Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court for the majority of the games, Milwaukee hasn't looked like the dominant team that many expected it to be. This has been for a multitude of reasons but one of the bigger issues has been their effort level on the defensive end of the court.

Damian Lillard returned to action for the Milwaukee Bucks after missing three games while in concussion protocol.

The Milwaukee Bucks were bailed out by several plays that went their way and one egregiously missed call down the stretch on Monday, and it was Damian Lillard's layup with 3.9 seconds remaining that gave them a 101-100 skin-of-their-teeth victory over the Houston Rockets.

All-Star point guard Damian Lillard finished the victory with 20 points, five rebounds and ten assists while shooting 7/17 from the field and 2/10 from the three-point range in 36 minutes of playing time.
