Buried by an avalanche of 3-point shots from the Miami Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks maintained their championship mindset and never gave up hope they could rally.
Then he pulled off one of his most spectacular comebacks of the season.
Jew Holiday had 1.9 seconds left in the driving layup and the defending NBA champion rallied to a 14-point deficit in the final six minutes to beat the Eastern Conference-leading Heat 120-119 on Wednesday night.
"We've done it before," said Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 28 points, 17 rebounds and five assists. "We did it against Boston. We were down 13 (with five minutes left) in the Christmas game and came back and won the game.
It was a win the Bucks needed as they entered the toughest phase of their program.
It marked the last of six straight home games for the Bucks, who now tour the Central Division-leading Chicago Bulls and host the Western Conference-leading Phoenix Suns in their next two outings.
"We can't really miss this win," said Holiday, who had 25 points and 11 assists. "We adore it and we love it, but these games are not stopping."
The Bucks broke the Heat's four-game winning streak by defeating Miami 21-6. Miami, who scored 21 of 44 from 3-point range, led 119-116 and the ball had less than 20 seconds left before everything fell apart.
