Wild finishes were abound throughout the Association on Monday.

Over in Milwaukee, the Bucks took the Portland Trail Blazers to the limit, capping off a neck and neck fourth quarter with a go-ahead bucket courtesy of Greg Monroe, leaving 5.1 seconds on the clock.

Botched communication on the final defensive possession had Khris Middleton's check, Meyers Leonard, wide open for the potential game-winner, but the Bucks' highly-touted frontcourt length finally came in handy on this game-saving play.

Rangy forward John Henson joined fellow big man Monroe as hero for the day, swatting away Leonard's shot to preserve the Bucks' win.

The Bucks, now 9-13, host the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday as they look to push their winning streak to three games.
