Khris Middleton connected with a clutch three-pointer in the final minute to help the Milwaukee Bucks score a 98-97 win over East rivals the Boston Celtics.
With 35.5 seconds remaining and the score tied at 95-95, Bucks center Brook Lopez held possession on the left wing and waited for the Celtics double-team to come.
As Boston defenders Marcus Smart and Marcus Morris made their move, the veteran big man made a deft pass to Middleton, who was open at the top of the key.
The Bucks forward didn't need a second invitation, lofting a three-pointer before Al Horford could close him out. His shot ripped through the net to give the Bucks a decisive 98-95 lead.
