The Los Angeles Clippers welcomed the Milwaukee Bucks to the Intuit Dome on Saturday night for the finale of their five-game home stand. A star-studded matchup
Rivers was right about the free-throw line, although perhaps the message didn’t get through to his best players.

Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard stated that one of the current Los Angeles Clippers stars deserves recognition as one of the 75 greatest players in NBA history, adding that he feels the player is underappreciated.
Harden made his case by sparking the Clippers to a 127-117 win that snapped the Bucks’ five-game win streak. Despite that, he’s a longshot to be named an All-Star reserve (who are selected by a vote of the coaches, those choices will be announced Thursday). The West is very deep with quality guards.
Damian Lillard added 26 points and eight assists for Milwaukee, which swept the three-game season series from Toronto. Milwaukee turned in a well-balanced performance at home to pass Orlando and take over fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
