MILWAUKEE — Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were supposedly on minutes restrictions, but that wasn't evident from the box score. Lillard scored 28 points in 38 minutes after missing Milwaukee's previous game with a hamstring injury, and Antetokounmpo had 23 points and 16 rebounds in 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 win over the Miami Heat. Antetokoumpo had missed five games before the All-Star break and sat out the All-Star festivities with a left calf strain. Coach Doc Rivers said he had a limit of 31 minutes for the two-time MVP, who slightly exceeded that total.
