Everything was about Lillard to start the game — and it seemed to catch the Heat by surprise. By the time Miami coach Erik Spoelstra called a timeout a little more than three minutes into the first quarter, Lillard had already knocked down three 3s and assisted on the Bucks’ other two buckets to give Milwaukee a quick 14-5 lead. “He was clearly locked in and it definitely gave everyone something to follow,” Bucks center Brook Lopez said. “He was such a great leader out there and we all played off him.”

Following a 122-106 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez provided an exasperated response to one fact about the game. “I don’t know what you want me to say anymore,” Lopez said, shaking his head at his locker. The same fact about the Bucks’ third-quarter performance drew disbelief from shooting guard AJ Green. “In the third?” Green asked. “Geez.” What was the fact that left them incredulous? Lopez and Green were reacting to finding out Giannis Antetokounmpo had scored 25 of the Bucks’ 29 points in the third quarter, the most recent example of Antetokounmpo’s dominance. Lopez and Green smiled and laughed as they reflected on the moments of absurdity that can come from playing with one of the best players on the planet.
