Another Bucks defensive masterclass. Up 68-66 at half.
No Middleton tonight on a B2B.

Bucks up 9 in the 4th. Mike Brown just got ejected for the Kings. Bucks go up 12 and then give up a 3 pointer on a walk up shot by Huerter. Bucks have played OK, but have given up some inexcusable wide open looks letting good shooters just walk into them with no resistance.
Lead down to 4. Giannis jacking early shot clock 3s and missing.
Mike Brown's tantrum worked.
Kings have ZERO fouls in the 4th quarter.
Bucks up 1 with 17 seconds left. Couldn't inbound and had to blow their last timeout.

And he hits both.
What a stupid coaching decision. The Bucks intentionally foul with 11 seconds left and up 3. You do that with 3 seconds left, not 11. Up 1 with 9 second left and Giannis shooting FTs again.
Giannis hits 1 of 2. Kings tie it with 2 seconds left.
Now overtime.
They should fire Griffin just for that decision. WTAF?
That was really stupid on so many levels.
Why weren’t all the Bucks back on defense if he misses the 2nd FT? Fox gets it and sprints to the hoop and Giannis didn’t want to foul.
Really not smart play in last 90 seconds.
Pat Connauhgton is worthless at this point. Why is he on the floor?
Pat C and Beasley miss 2 wide open 3s and Lillard turns it over. Horrible.
Bucks up 1 in OT. Somehow Griffin calls a defense that leaves Huerter wide open at the top of the key without even needing a pick. He's an idiot.
I can not overstate how idiotic several decisions by Griffin were tonight. He made Game 5 Heat playoff game Bud look like a savant tonight.
Bobby Portis was 9 for 11 tonight and hasn't played the last 13 minutes of game time.
LOL. Dame hits a 31 foot buzzer beater fading to his left over two guys.
Bails Griffin out.
Off balance fading to his left. That’s unreal.
Bucks had no business winning this one but the Kings miss 3 of their final 4 FTs to keep the door open
I just watched it from DVR......
Holy shit!!! 🤯😯
DAME 😍 keeps our Sunday PERFECT!!!
DAME TIME IN MILWAUKEE ‼️ 🤯

DAME LILLARD DRILLS THE PULL-UP 32-FOOT #TissotBuzzerBeater 🚨

I began watching this game with just a few seconds left in OT. My timing to begin watching was very good. 😀
I think if the Bucks can accommodate him missing some time during the year to take care of personal business and/or spend more time with his kids that’s probably good for him and the team. He’s been more like the regular Damian Lillard of old the last three games. Clearly that hasn’t been the case earlier this year and given the divorce situation it probably hasn’t been an easy transition for him.

Playing Championship basketball can cure a lot of ills.
Just look at how happy Giannis was for Dame!
Incredible......
Humans.....not robots

There is no question that the Bucks are better equipped to win a close playoff Game 7 when the opposing teams have guys that can challenge with Dame. They weren't going to consistently win games like that with Jrue as the third option. He has way too many offensive limitations when you get deep into the playoffs.
It's just whether they can get to a Game 7 against Boston, Philly, or Miami (or maybe Indiana) playing at their current defensive intensity and scheme.
