Jason Kidd's starting lineup changes put Greg Monroe on the bench to start the game, but Monroe bounced back to score 29 points, including a go-ahead bucket with :01 to play in Milwaukee's 112-111 win.
Former Marquette star Jae Crowder tied the game with :23 to play, scoring two of his 18 points for Boston. Monroe responded on the next possession, giving the Bucks a two point lead with just one second to play. That final second was loaded with action, as a pair of Kelly Olynyk free throws tied the game again before Khris Middleton hit a free throw for the game's deciding point.
The Bucks snapped a losing skid and raised their record to 21-32 on the season with the win.
