MILWAUKEE — Damian Lillard has dealt with all kinds of injuries through his 13 seasons in the NBA. But he'd never had to worry about recovering from a concussion before. His return from concussion protocol put the Milwaukee Bucks guard in a much more familiar situation. Lillard came back after missing three games and made a game-winning layup with 3.9 seconds left in the Bucks' 101-100 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday.
