With 6:55 left in the contest, tonight’s Milwaukee Bucks-Toronto Raptors game was very much in doubt.

Tied at 83, Scott Skiles inserted Drew Gooden and Brandon Jennings back into the lineup.  A lineup of shooters brought on extinction for the Raps.

By going small, Skiles got his best possible shooting lineup on the floor — Jennings, Carlos Delfino, Mike Dunleavy, Stephen Jackson, and Drew Gooden — and the Bucks went on a 11-2 run that propelled them to victory.  Fittingly, they hit a pair of three-pointers during that stretch.  The Bucks won this game from the three-point line by hitting 12 of 25 attempts on the night.
