Damian Lillard made a triumphant NBA pre-season debut for the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, combining well with Giannis Antetokounmpo in a 108-97 road victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lillard, a seven-time All-Star guard traded from Portland to the Bucks last month, scored 14 points with three steals, three assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes on the court.
"It was a matter of getting my wind up, just getting into the rhythm. They came out blitzing me in the beginning so it woke me up. It was just good to be back out on the floor." "I think my game complements the guys really well so it has been seemless. It hasn't been hard at all. Now it's just a matter of being able to play other teams and getting used to each other and how we're going to operate out there."The Lakers, playing without superstar LeBron James, were led by 16 points and seven rebounds from Anthony Davis.
"A lot of what we do offensively is what I did with him for nine years so it has been pretty simple as far as that adjustment," Lillard said.
