Clippers are on the second night of a back-to-back, but Giannis is out with Achilles tendonitis.
Dame may have to score 60 to give them a chance tonight.

Dame with 13 points in the first 8 minutes, but it seems like Harden, Lillard, and George could probably all score 40 tonight if they wanted.
Bucks get annihilated at the end of the first and are down 10.
Clippers go on a 17-4 run to end the quarter, and they didn't even seem to be trying that hard.
Portis keeping them within striking distance while Dame sits. Within 5.
Bucks within 5. 5:15 left in the half.
Crowder with some hustle on the Dame airball!
Down 7 at the half. Dame, Portis, and Pat Bev keep them within striking distance.
Galinari is washed up. I don't understand why Andre Jackson Jr. can't get minutes in a game like this.
Bucks down 9. Beasley being 0-4 does not help matters.
Bucks down 12 and about to lose contact.
Dame is the only Buck who can score.
Beasley 0 for 6.
Portis in. Maybe he can get something going.

They have three guys that can create offense and two of them are out tonight. The supporting guys have a lot less space to shoot without Giannis' gravity.
Thought Lopez was going to get called for travelling, there. Lopez to the line and misses both.
Bucks get it to 10, but it just doesn't seem like they are really in this. Clippers are kind of sleepwalking through this.
Dame with a nice feed to Portis, for 2. Bucks down 10 with 3:36 left in the 3rd
Beasley finally hits a 3 at the end of the 3rd. 83-71 LAC.
Down 8 going to the 4th, but I would guess Dame will sit to the start the 4th and they are going to really struggle generating offense with him out.
Bucks down 3 on the Portis 3!
Bucks playing with some intensity!
Harden is killing them. Keeps them up 6.
Beasley has been awful on both sides of the ball. A scintillating 1 for 10 from the field and he can't guard anyone either,
Beverley ties it and Dame gives us the lead!
Green with a three! Bucks up 5
13-0 Bucks run. Up 7 with 3 minutes left. AJ Green from the logo.
Did not see this coming at all, but still a lot of work to do.
Portis hit a 2 Bucks up 7!!
Bucks only up 6 and will be 4 with 90 seconds left.
Would be really disappointing to get up 9 with less than 2 minutes left and then lose.
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!!!
What a comeback by Milwaukee!
106-113 Bucks win!!! 6 in a row!!!
Portis goes 12 for 18 for 28 points with 16 rebounds.
Dame goes 12 for 22 for 41-4-4
The only downside is this argues against Giannis' MVP case.

Honestly, I hated watching the Bucks earlier this year. They had one of the best records in the NBA, but I didn't think they played hard or smart, and even though they scored a ton of points, I found it almost unwatchable.
They've become so much more fun to watch as Doc has begun fixing them. Tonight was kind of frustrating for a while as it felt like if Beasley could have hit much of anything they would have been closer than they were. Then the 4th Quarter it seemed like everyone got hot and the Clippers got ice cold.
Kudos to Dame for keeping them in it most of the game and he had just enough help at the end to come up with a great upset win.

Giannis will be the first to tell you....
Fuck that MVP trophy.
I am fucking fired up.
First round exit....right @Tschmack ?? ð
The Giannis calf/achilles looks like it could shut him down for while.
#Bucks Doc Rivers called Patrick Beverley and Bobby Portis instigators tonight. The play of this duo brought the much-needed intensity pic.twitter.com/uvN9ukwlBm

No Freak, no KM, Dame says âI got thisâ.
Thatâs an impressive win.
