The Milwaukee Bucks are struggling to find their footing this season, currently sitting four games below .500 after losing five consecutive games. Despite a strong performance from Damian Lillard, who scored 41 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bucks fell short, losing 114-113.

Coach Doc Rivers pointed out the team's inability to maintain consistency throughout games, often allowing opposing players to capitalize during critical moments. With Khris Middleton still sidelined, the Bucks are heavily reliant on Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they need more support from the bench to turn their season around.

Antetokounmpo expressed a sense of urgency to improve, although he noted some positive signs in their recent performance, including better shooting from beyond the arc. The team remains optimistic as they work to resolve their issues and regain their competitive edge.
