A valiant Thunder comeback came up just short as Giannis Antetokounmpo made the game-winning bucket in the final seconds, a strong drive baseline and finish over Russell Westbrook to lift the Bucks to a 97-95 win.
Take a look at the sequence:
Note that it looks like Antetokounmpo stepped out of bounds on the drive baseline passed Josh Huestis. The refs missed the call and no review came to save the Thunder.
This play by Giannis came just moments after Westbrook completed the fourth-quarter comeback with a cold-blooded three over Tony Snell to tie the game at 95-95.
But Westbrook's 40 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists were not enough for the Paul George-less Thunder tonight.
The Thunder have been on a roll this month so the loss is simply a small blip on the radar as it's been more good than not of late.
The Bucks will certainly take the tough win on the road over a playoff team out of the Western Conference. Milwaukee has been going through some tough times and rumors are swirling about them possibly making a move by the trade deadline to acquire another big or more outside shooting.
