Jason Terry made the shot, but could not beat the buzzer and the Pelicans beat the Bucks on the road.

Despite leading by 17 points at halftime (66-59) the Bucks lost at home and New Orleans prevailed 123-121 after overtime.

Spaniard Nikola Mirotic came off the bench and scored 14 points for the winners who also got 36 by Jrue Holiday. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a full stat line with 20 points, six assists, four rebounds, two steals and no turnovers, but he also had a bad shooting night with 6/18 FG.

However, the most important play of the Greek Freak is that he drove along the right side and tried to hit a fadeaway jumper from the baseline in order to send the game to a second overtime. The ball bounced off the rim and went to Terry in the left corner, but his made 3-pointer came well after the buzzer sounded.
