He dished the final of his eight assists out of a double-team in the paint, finding a wide-open Pat Connaughton for a corner 3-pointer that began the game-ending back-and-forth.Connaughton scored 15 points off the bench, matching Holiday&#x27;s output. Khris Middleton scored 22 points for Milwaukee and notched a double-double with 10 rebounds.Brooks scored 23 points for Memphis, including the two on a floater in the paint that drew Antetokounmpo&#x27;s goaltending whistle.Despite his final point total, Brooks endured a rough night shooting from 3-point range -- an issue for Memphis as a whole. Brooks went 1 of 6, while the Grizzlies finished 8 of 34 overall. Morant made three 3-pointers but missed 10.Milwaukee was not much better at 10 of 34. Connaughton led the Bucks, going 3-for-7.
