Upon his return after over a month sidelined by a blood clot, Damian Lillard played 37 minutes in Game 2, scoring 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting and grabbing four rebounds with three assists. He appeared winded, missing both his three-point attempts, which is expected after a month's return.

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a fantastic showing in the Game 2 defeat, scoring 34 points on 14-of-20 shooting while recording a whopping 18 rebounds, seven assists and one block. The Bucks took too long to find a rhythm, however, and wavered defensively in crucial moments. It will take a team effort to shift momentum in this series.
