Don’t look now but Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks are again at .500 after extending their win streak to five games with a 106-103 takedown of the Miami Heat on the road on Wednesday night.
Lillard was in his vintage form against the Heat, as the future Hall of Famer point guard dropped 37 points on 10-for-17 shooting from the floor. In addition, Lillard dished out 12 assists and grabbed three rebounds while also going 8-for-13 from behind the arc.
With all those triples he drained against the Heat, Lillard joined an elite franchise club that also has Ray Allen.

Damian Lillard has been huge of late for the surging Milwaukee Bucks
There was a lot on the shoulders of Lillard in the Heat game, as Giannis Antetokounmpo did not play due to right patella tendinitis.
Hopefully for Milwaukee, Lillard stays hot when they take on the Washington Wizards at home this coming Saturday. Over his last three games, the 34-year-old Lillard has averaged 30.7 points on 47.4 percent shooting from the field and 46.7 percent from deep.
