VIDEO: Khris Middleton hits buzzer-beater to snap Bucks' 6-game skid
Khris Middleton helped the reeling Milwaukee Bucks end their six-game losing skid in dramatic fashion.
Zaza Pachulia came up with a key offensive rebound on a Jerryd Bayless miss with seconds remaining and kicked it out to Middleton, who was camped out beyond the arc. Middleton then finished off the Miami Heat, nailing a 3-pointer as time expired to lift the Bucks back in the win column.
Middleton scored 13 points, while three Bucks, including Pachulia, recorded double-doubles in the 89-88 victory.
Injured rookie Jabari Parker, who is out for the season after undergoing knee surgery, made a cameo appearance in Middleton's postgame interview after the win.
The victory moved the sixth-place Bucks 2.5 games ahead of the Heat in the Eastern Conference standings.
