Milwaukee Bucks’ top 5 plays of the week: Alley-oops galore!
3. Khris Middleton oops it off the backboard!
Khris Middleton isn’t very well known for his passing, but it’s one of the underrated aspects of his game. And it was on full display on Monday night.
Late in the first quarter, while the Bucks were in the middle of a late surge that saw them take a lead going into the second, Middleton made this beaut of a play that brought the fans at the Bradley Center to their feet:

The play began with a steal and suddenly Middleton was off to the races with one Magic’ defender in front of him. With Parker trailing, Middleton hesitated for a second to make the defender think he was going to pass it, but then he continued toward the hoop. Right when it looked like he was going to lay it off the glass for a bunny, he put a little extra oompf behind it and it soared right to Parker for the two-handed slam.
