Giannis Antetokounmpo On Damian Lillard: Our Chemistry Is The Best It's Ever Been

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks have turned around their season after a tumultuous and disappointing 23-24 campaign that included a midseason coaching change. Antetokounmpo and Lillard have improved their chemistry on the court. The tandem is averaging 58.4 combined points per game with Lillard assisting Antetokounmpo 52 times this season. They are in the top 10 among passer-scorer combinations in the NBA.

"At the end of the day it takes time," Antetokounmpo said Saturday about his relationship with Lillard. "I feel like a lot of people had such high expectations from us from Day 1 to be the best duo to ever play this game, but it takes time.

"Now, it's our second year playing together, we are more comfortable playing with one another. We know one another's spots better.

"Our chemistry is the best it's ever been."
