He gave them momentum. As the Bucks embark on their four-game western trip this week, Williams and his relentless band of teammates can pack the memory of an exhilarating, last-second victory over the Pacers into their suitcases instead of a two-game losing streak. The triumph Saturday was truly one for the ages. Williams culminated a stirring comeback by drilling a final second, three-point basket to give the Bucks a 103-102 victory. That was the Bucks' only lead of the night. "It's good preparation for this West Coast trip we have coming up," center Jamaal Magloire said. "And, in playoff situations, you're going to be up and down. The key is to stay with it and stick to the game plan and keep fighting to the last second." Said Williams, "It's great momentum." So far this young season, the Bucks' habit has been to fall behind early and then rally back to win. But they were pushing their luck Saturday after falling behind by 20 in the first half, especially against a top-flight opponent like the Pacers. Then, after coming back to tie the score in the third quarter, the Bucks found themselves behind again, 96-82, with 3 minutes 39 seconds to go. That's when the fun began. The Pacers were their own worst enemy by missing 10 of 16 free throws in the final 2 minutes - they were 15 for 26 in the fourth quarter - but the Bucks came up with any number of big plays to steal the victory. Enough big plays to have coach Terry Stotts' head spinning afterward. "I'd have to look at a play-by-play to see what happened in the last 2 minutes, other than we didn't quit," he said. The play-by-play will show that guard T.J. Ford got the comeback going in earnest when he stripped the ball from Indiana's Anthony Johnson and scored a layup to trim the Pacers' lead to 96-88 with 2:46 left. Later, Andrew Bogut scored on a short put-back to make it 98-94 with 31.7 seconds left and Michael Redd drained a huge three-pointer to make it 99-97 with 25.3 seconds to go. Johnson made the worst of all blunders when he fouled Redd on a three-point shot with 7.3 seconds left. Redd made all three free throws and the lead was 101-100. It was a play that Indiana coach Rick Carlisle did not even care to address afterward.</div> Source
