The Bucks could theoretically try to find a new superstar to pair alongside Giannis. Lillard had been good prior to his injury from a statistical standpoint, averaging 24.9 points and 7.1 assists during the regular season and making his ninth All-Star game.

Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo did his best to keep the team afloat, recording 28 points, 15 rebounds and six assists. He shot 9-of-20 from the field in an uncharacteristically inefficient performance, but he had to shoulder most of the offensive load when Lillard went down.

The Bucks enter Game 3 down 2-0 after losing both games in Indiana, and Giannis Antetokounmpo knows full well that they cannot afford to lose on Friday night. Doing so would pretty much be a death sentence for the Bucks, considering how no team in the history of the NBA has ever come back to win a series after going down 3-0.
