MILWAUKEE — Damian Lillard scored a season-high 43 points to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists as the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 135-127 on Sunday. Gary Trent Jr. added a season-high 23 points and Bobby Portis had 18 points and 12 rebounds. The Bucks were missing two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for a fourth straight game as he deals with a strained left calf. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game that Antetokounmpo likely will remain out through the All-Star break. The Bucks had season highs in points, 3-point baskets (24) and field-goal attempts (105).
