No. 4 - Lillard's game-winner lifts Bucks over Kings

Up on the Sacramento Kings on January 14, the Milwaukee Bucks slipped up and blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. Sacramento's De'Aaron Fox sunk a shot at the buzzer to send it to overtime. Milwaukee quickly fell into a six-point hole in OT, but Damian Lillard helped reenergize them, scoring six of the team's next nine points.

With five seconds left, the Bucks found themselves down two and having to travel the entire length of the floor. Lillard inbounded to Brook Lopez, got the ball back and sprinted down the court before the guard heaved a 32-foot triple, which he sunk as the buzzer sounded. It was one of the most thrilling games of the entire season that had everyone on the edge of their seats.

No. 3 - Down 25, Bucks storm back to topple Mavericks

On February 3, the Dallas Mavericks dominated the Bucks for the opening two and a half quarters, building up a 25-point lead. Yet, Milwaukee did not give up, storming back in the third to retake the lead. The Bucks never trailed throughout the final 12 minutes, having one of the craziest comebacks in the league this season as they secured a 129-117 victory.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 48 points, 10 assists and five steals, shooting an incredibly efficient 20-of-28 (71.4 percent) from the floor. Damian Lillard followed that lead with 30 points and eight assists on 9-of-10 shooting. It was one of the best examples all season of seeing these two on the same page and firing on all cylinders.
