Playing in the final matchup of a four-game homestand at Fiserv Forum, the Milwaukee Bucks welcomed in the Houston Rockets Friday night.

The Rockets were severely shorthanded heading into this matchup with only eight players available. To further highlight just how undermanned they were, Houston officially signed guard Khyri Thomas to a 10-day contract during the day on Friday and not only did he suit up for them just hours later, but he played nearly 23 minutes against Milwaukee.

These circumstances made it seem like the Bucks could handle this one with ease, but the depleted Rockets put up a fight and never gave in until the final buzzer sounded.
