Dame's stepback beats first quarter buzzer
It's officially "Dame Time" in Milwaukee.
In Game 1 of the Milwaukee Bucks' first round series against the Indiana Pacers, Damian Lillard found his shooting stroke early as he nailed a step-back 3-pointer to end the first quarter. The shot gave the Bucks a 30-21 lead over the Pacers.
Lillard scored or assisted on 25 of 30 Milwaukee's points. The Pacers' 21 first-quarter points are their fewest in a quarter against the Bucks this season.
