Watch: Bucks botch chance to tie Game 6, end season with turnover

This is not how it was supposed to end.

Down three with the ball, the Milwaukee Bucks had the opportunity to tie Thursday's Game 6 versus the Toronto Raptors.

Instead, though, they threw it away. Literally.

Tony Snell sent the inbound pass to Khris Middleton, only for Patrick Patterson to intercept it. DeMar DeRozan proceeded to launch the ball in the air as the clock expired and the curtain closed on Milwaukee's season.

It was an unfortunate end following both an impressive 25-point comeback in the second half and a solid campaign overall. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who grew into a superstar in 2016-17, led all scorers with 34 points in 46 minutes.

After previously leading the series twice, the Bucks fell 4-2 to the Raps.
