Khris Middleton's Game-Winning Shot in Overtime Propels Bucks Over Heat

The first game of this year's NBA playoffs came down to a game-winning shot from Bucks forward Khris Middleton in what was an incredible Game 1 victory over the Heat.

Middleton had the ball at the top of the key after Goran Dragic tied the game up at 107 with a three-pointer. He fought his way to his right for a contested fadeaway jumper and found the bottom of the net to give his team a two-point lead with just a half a second remaining in overtime.

The Heat (40–32) were unable to answer and the Bucks (46–26) won 109–107.
