Monta Madness in Milwaukee

/

Monta Ellis continues being on a heater in tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Mavericks fought back after being down 9 in the 4th quarter and were even up by two with under 30 seconds to go. Brandon Knight stepped up for the Bucks however and hit a step back jumper to tie the game with 8.1 seconds remaining. I think Ellis was tired of OT games in the last week and a bit (OT vs the Knicks and 2OT the night before vs the Bulls) and made sure to hit the game winning shot with no time remaining. Ellis finished the game with 23pts 2reb and 7ast and possibly the biggest shot of the Mavericks season thus far. I think Parsons shares my sentiment. 

Brandon Knight 3 clutch daggers to fend off the Heat

The Milwaukee Bucks desperate to hold off a late 4th quarter run by Bosh and the Heat looked for some heroics from Brandon Knight who stepped up when they needed him most. The Bucks were up by 4 with 3:30 left in the game until Brandon Knight got hot. Knight hit a 3 pointer and Norris Cole would fire back with a 3 of his own but Knight kept feeling it as he hit another 3 on the possession right after to expand the Bucks lead back to 7. Mario Chalmers then scored a layup to bring the heat within 5 with 1:10 to go. Now with the shot clock running down for the Bucks Brandon Knight was forced to put up a tough top of the key 3 pointer that fell and sealed the deal for Milwaukee. Knight would finish the game with 20 points 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the Bucks 91-84 victory. Dwyane Wade sat out again for the Miami Heat and it seemed to cost them as Bosh shot badly making only 2-17 of his field goals. When this occurs the Heat have issues finding a consistent secondary scorer to at least provide an offensive threat the way Wade does. 

Knight's hot streak begins at the 5 minute mark of the video.
