WOW! We were down 27 tonight and made a truly gutsy comeback to win over a Bulls team we had lost 9 straight to. A real character builder. You had to see it to believe it. Our bench dominated. HUGE WIN!

I flipped it on at about the 4 minute mark in the 3rd, just shaking my head. I don't know what made me keep watching, but I did. When Skiles cleared the bench, I just figured it would be good to watch the younger guys play.
As they crept closer I just waited for the Bulls to make a run to ice it. But the kept stumbling and the Bucks kept scoring. I just knew Hamilton was going to hit that last shot, but he didn't. Boy Boozer got away with murder on that last play.
After last week watching the Bucks, Badgers, Badgrs, and Packers all stumble, maybe this is the spark that gets them all going...

I give credit to Skiles for sticking with Doron Lamb and the rest of the guys from the bench until the end of the game. I thought he'd put some starters back in for the last few minutes, but the bench guys did it. Doron, Ersan, Beno, Ekpe and the only normal named guy ...Mike D....lol.
A truly amazing win. Interesting to see what happens after this win. Look for Milwaukee to go on a nice run.
1 1/2 games up in first place!

They certainly haven't had an easy time lately with some of the teams they've been playing but this was a signature win for so many different reasons.
Not sure I've ever seen a 27pt comeback in an NBA game, but I do know that a double digit lead isn't a guarantee for a win either. I have seen many Bucks teams blow a lead (late) so it's good to turn the tables for a change.
Once again the bench guys play huge in this one. That might be the strength of this team overall.
Good to get back in the win column for sure.

I fell asleep about that time and missed it, woke up and was ready to watch the replay on the dish, fell asleep again. Oy!

What a crazy, assinine and illogical thing to say ... only a true fan of all would say it.
Truly a bright spot in an otherwise dismal sports week. This is a remarkably deep team.
I thought they would let it slip away when Beno missed both free throws. Not to mention when they threw away the inbounds pass.
Give SS credit for riding out the game with the bench guys. Earn your minutes !
Nice to see Ersan play big at crunch time.

I think Skiles has his answer- Ilyasova and Dunleavy off the bench and they'll score. Beno, Udoh, and Lamb also on the second team. Whoever has energy plays big minutes.
Ellis and Jennings better start bringing more energy,or I say they sit. It's their biggest issue to date. Slow starts defensively.
