MILWAUKEE — THERE'S 1:10 left in the fourth quarter, and the Milwaukee Bucks trail the New York Knicks by two points, in danger of falling below .500 for the first time in two years.
Coming out of a timeout, the Bucks inbound the ball to former MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Newly acquired star Damian Lillard watches the play unfold from the corner to Antetokounmpo's left.
The 6-foot-11 big man dribbles twice toward the same corner and Lillard begins to make his move. The play was drawn up in the huddle as a dribble handoff to the corner, but Lillard uses his instincts and calls a slight audible.
First, Lillard breaks toward the basket, knowing his defender, New York's Quentin Grimes, would not want to allow him an easy layup.
