Two nights before, the Milwaukee Bucks had the kind of loss a team trying to climb back into the playoff picture can’t afford when CJ McCollum hit the game-winner for the Wizards.
Friday night looked like it could be another one of those games, but then Giannis Antetokounmpo did this.
In a wild game where the lead changed hands three times in the last 10.5 seconds, that shot proved to be the game-winner, and Milwaukee got the 122-121 victory at home.
