3. January 4th, 2017 at New York Knicks: Game-winning buzzer-beater

The Bucks entered Madison Square Garden on January 4th, 2017 battling to stay above .500 on the season. They left the game with a little momentum and Antetokounmpo announced his arrival on the national scene as well.

The Bucks entered the fourth quarter trailing by a whopping 14 points (73-87), but immediately started to mount a comeback. Starting with a Jason Terry three, Milwaukee went on a 16-4 run in the first four minutes and 14 seconds to make it a two-point game.

Antetokounmpo took over from there, scoring 13 points over the last 6:22 including nine of the Bucks’ 10 points in the final three minutes of the game. He finished the contest with 27 points and 13 rebounds, but the most memorable two points came on a last-second, step-back shot to win the game as time expired.
