Khris Middleton's buzzer-beater causes on-court party
If you haven't seen it, the Aggie and rising NBA star made a statement on Tuesday night: thirty-point games and even beating the buzzer in traditional fashion just aren't enough.
Middleton, who's averaged 18.5 points in March and scored 29 or more three times — and also beat the Phoenix Suns with a buzzer-beating three on Dec. 15 — has done it again.
The Bucks trailed by two when a fierce scramble ensued after a jump ball and missed layup with less than 10 seconds left, leading to a prayer of a pass from Zaza Pachulia to Middleton, who caught and released it in the blink of an eye. And sank it. Of course.
The play and the celebration that ensued are worth a watch:
Worth a mention: the Bucks had been on a six-game losing streak and the Heat, whose dreams Middleton so coolly ruined, were closing in on them for the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference. Were, past tense.
Gig 'em, Khris.

Khris is going to get a big payday from a team in the near future. Man would love to see him go to the spurs, because he's a perfect fit there, but I just don't see them matching what he would be able to make in the open market. Defends super well, long and rangy, and can shoot the 3 ball at a high level.

K-H-R-I-S Khris Middleton (SC top 10 announcer this morning while I was needing to fall asleep. I knew who it was after the K-H-).

All the reactions on that video were great - the on court, Heat bench, Bucks bench, fans!
