The Milwaukee Bucks were bailed out by several plays that went their way and one egregiously missed call down the stretch on Monday, and it was Damian Lillard's layup with 3.9 seconds remaining that gave them a 101-100 skin-of-their-teeth victory over the Houston Rockets.

Damian Lillard hit a driving layup with 3.9 seconds left to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 101-100 victory over Houston that snapped the Rockets’ five-game winning streak.

The Bucks don’t get this win without a big game from Brook Lopez — 27 points and 10 rebounds — while Antetokounmpo scored 20 with 13 rebounds and Lillard had 18 points (but was 0-of-6 from 3). Houston was led by 26 from Fred VanVleet.

Could the Houston Rockets Make a Blockbuster Move for Giannis? As the Milwaukee Bucks struggle, speculation grows about the future of their franchise star.

The Houston Rockets have been one of the better teams in the Western Conference this season with a record of 9-4. They are in the West playoff picture and could be looking to add a major piece via trade at some point to elevate their status.
