  • Thunder Down Pelicans As Both Teams Play with Heavy Hearts
    SPORTS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2016 Bucks go into break with close win over Wizards MILWAUKEE: Khris Middleton’s role on the Milwaukee Bucks has evolved from catch-and-shoot perimeter player to crunch-time play- maker. A matchup problem as a 6-foot-8 forward who plays in the backcourt, Middleton did more damage Thursday night against the Washington Wizards by attacking the bucket and finding open teammates. Middleton scored 27 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and the Bucks held on for 99-92 win to head into the All-Star break on a high note.”Yeah, we look at Khris as our best player, our best scorer,” teammate Jabari Parker said. “He opens up a lot of areas for us, and we’re going to depend on him.” Especially in the final quarter, when Middleton had 14 points and five assists. He’s not just a catch-and-shoot player anymore. Expectation rose in the offseason when Middleton signed a five-year contract worth $70 million. Against Washington, Middleton was 1 of 3 from 3-point range, but 9 of 17 overall. Middleton also tied a season high with nine assists. “Sometimes, you want to put guys in position (for more responsibility), you want to see if they grab it - and he’s grabbing it,” coach Jason Kidd said. Bradley Beal scored 19 points for the Wizards, and John Wall had 15 points and 10 assists. Washington got within three when Wall made two free throws with 1:36 left. But Middleton answered again, hitting a jumper in the lane on the next possession before setting up a drive-and-dish to Greg Monroe that gave the Bucks a 97-90 lead with 15 seconds left.
