Lillard pushes Bucks past Clippers in win
All-Star had 41 points vs. L.A.
Damian Lillard scored 41 points and the host Milwaukee Bucks overcame the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo to rally past the Los Angeles Clippers, 113-106, on Monday night for their sixth straight victory.
Antetokounmpo missed his third game of the season as he deals with left Achilles tendinitis.
The only other times he sat out were a Nov. 15 win at Toronto with a strained right calf and a Jan. 17 loss at Cleveland with a bruised right shoulder.
