Nigerian Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo could not save the Milwaukee Bucks from defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Milwaukee Bucks' 105-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers was their fourth in five games against teams ranked below 500, as they continue their poor play against some of the league's worst teams.

Despite missing nine layups and only making four attempts at free throws, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 31 points on 27 shots.

He only had two assists on one of his poorest shooting games of the season, making 14 of 27 attempts.

Damian Lillard missed a game-tying three-pointer in traffic as time ran out and finished only five for fifteen, which tied him for his sixth-worst shooting performance of the year.

Bobby Portis Jr. was 4-for-11 for nine points, while AJ Green had 21 points off the bench, matching a career-high with seven three-pointers.

The Bucks are only 6-9 away from home this season, as they will travel to meet the 8-27 Toronto Raptors on Monday.
