The Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night in California. The game remained close for the duration, but ultimately the Bucks would take the one-point loss, losing 123-122.
Milwaukee’s all-star point guard Damian Lillard finished Friday’s contest with 28 points, five rebounds, and 12 assists while shooting 10/23 from the field and 4-of-12 from the three-point range in 38 minutes of play.
Following the game, Lillard took to Instagram.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard : “It’s all part of the plot.”
Lillard captioned his post, “Sometimes you get em and sometimes you get got it’s all part of the plot.”
Many could take this as shady, some could take it as Lillard learning from this one-point loss and moving on to the next game. Ultimately, it’s a typical Damian Lillard Instagram post highlighting his pre-game fit, and then shots from shooting practice and some in-game action.
