Bucks win 101-100 on Lillard's late basket to snap Rockets' 5-game win streak

MILWAUKEE — Damian Lillard hit a driving layup with 3.9 seconds left to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 101-100 victory over Houston that snapped the Rockets' five-game winning streak Monday night.

The Rockets rallied from a 14-point, third-quarter deficit to take the lead early in the fourth quarter and stayed ahead until Lillard's decisive basket. Giannis Antetokounmpo blocked a shot by Houston's Alperen Sengun with 20 seconds left.

Houston called timeout after Lillard's layup. After the Bucks fouled with 2 seconds left, Houston's Fred VanVleet tried inbounding the ball to Sengun, who couldn't catch it cleanly under the basket. VanVleet unsuccessfully tried passing to Jabari Smith Jr. as the horn sounded.

Rockets: One night after a 143-107 victory at Chicago in which they were one point shy of the NBA's highest scoring total this season, the Rockets were held to their fewest points of the season.

Bucks: Since a 2-8 start, Milwaukee has won three of four. Lopez briefly went in the locker room after taking a hard fall early in the second quarter, but he returned later that period and delivered one of his best games of the season.

The Bucks trailed 100-96 when A.J. Green buried a 3-pointer to cut the margin to one with 1:17 left.

Houston shot just 9 of 32 on 3-pointers and had its lowest field-goal percentage (.400) of the season.
