In a game where the Milwaukee Bucks came back from down 10 in the last quarter against the Indiana Pacers, they lose 114-115 on a four-point play from Tyrese Haliburton. Yup. Brook Lopez led the Bucks with 23 points and seven rebounds, while Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists.

Game Recap

Neither team had any interest in playing defence early, with the Bucks leading 15-14 less than six minutes in and both squads making a fair few defensive errors. Prince was hot early for the Bucks, going 3/4 from distance to start. However, some silly live-ball turnovers had the Bucks down 28-32 after one.

The Bucks started the second quarter in a malaise. Continuous basic defensive errors killed them early on: two Bucks going with one Pacer running down the lane while Mathurin got a wide-open wing three being the best example. And as the teams came out of the timeout, another turnover inbounding the basketball! Brilliant. Thankfully, the Bucks then made a point of moving the ball and answered with their own 12-0 run to take a one-point lead with 4:26 left in the frame, including a Brook Lopez five-point cameo. Pacers up 57-55 at half, leading fast-break points 19-3.

Dame was lively early in the third with five quick points (after scoring just two in the first half) along with a nice dime to Giannis cutting down the lane. Both teams really went blow for blow for next five minutes or so with the margin remaining around three points in either team’s favour. The non-Giannis lineup did decently to tread water over the final five minutes, game tied at 88 after three.

Pascal Siakam powered the Pacers to a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter as Giannis remained on the bench. Giannis finally checked back in, and the lead was halved via two Lopez buckets with 7:24 remaining. Buckets from Lopez and Trent equalled the game at 103. A KPJ turnover led to the Haliburton runout dun to give them a five-point lead, but the Bucks came back with two layups. Then TP had an awesome defensive possession on Tyrese, followed by GA kicking out to Trent for the deep-corner triple to put Milwaukee up 112-110 with just over a minute left. Nembhard took two threes on one possession and missed both, but the Bucks couldn’t make their own three down the other end. Then, Nembhard drove to the hoop and got fouled but made only one. Bucks ball with 6.8 seconds to go, Dame got fouled and made both. Indy timeout with 3.9 seconds remaining. And of course… the unimaginable happened. Giannis fouled Tyrese Haliburton on a corner three. Just unimaginably stupid basketball. Pacers win.

Stat That Stood Out

Milwaukee got destroyed in fast-break points, losing 3-31. No, that is not a typo.

Downtown Milwaukee temporary steam outage, We Energies restoring service

article

MILWAUKEE – An issue at the Valley Power Plant caused a temporary steam outage for downtown Milwaukee buildings on Saturday, Dec. 13.

Steam service interrupted

What we know:

According to We Energies, the gas supply to the Valley Power Plant was interrupted on Saturday morning, causing it to go offline. The plant produces steam for downtown buildings for heating.

We Energies says it has restored service to the steam system and is bringing steam back to customers, but the restoration process requires steam pressure to build back up in the steam system. Once pressure reaches safe levels, steam service can be delivered to customers.

By the numbers:

With goalie Matt Murray pulled, the Admirals dumped the puck into the IceHogs zone from the red line. Brossoit tracked it down behind his goal and sailed a shot into the empty Milwaukee cage at 18:56 of the final frame.

The teams waited until the second period to start scoring goals. IceHogs forward Nick Lardis started the scoring with a shorthanded goal at 1:18 of the second frame. He sent a wrist shot from the slot into the net just as Milwaukee had two players leave the penalty box.

Just 0:33 later, Rockford’s Brett Seney exited the penalty box and grabbed a loose puck at the Admirals blue line. He moved to the right circle and sent a shot over the glove of Admirals goalie Matt Murray at 1:51.

Milwaukee got on the board with a power-play goal at 4:56 of the second frame. Oasiz Wiesblatt skated with the puck from the left point to the right circle and slid a pass to the crease. Daniel Carr redirected the puck past IceHogs goalie Brossoit for his team-leading tenth goal of the season, and seventh on the power play. Wiesblatt and Joakim Kemell assisted.

Rockford scored two more before the close of the second period. Martin Misiak scored his first pro goal at 15:39 and Jamie Engelbert added a 4-on-4 goal at 18:45 to give the IceHogs a 4-1 lead after two frames.

The Admirals cut the deficit to 4-2 when Jake Lucchini scored his sixth goal of the season at 11:21 of the third period. Lucchini slammed a rebound of a Jordan Oesterle shot into the net. Cole O’Hara and Oesterle were awarded assists.

The Ads got within one just :36 later when O’Hara shot a blocked puck into the net from the right circle. Oesterle and Ryan Ufko assisted on the goal at 11:57 of the third period.

Milwaukee returns to UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena to host the Chicago Wolves on Saturday, Dec. 13.

Milwaukee parents sue MPS saying staff member locked students in ‘dungeon’ as punishment

Milwaukee parents sue MPS saying staff member locked students in ‘dungeon’ as punishment

Children at Thurston Woods School in Milwaukee were locked in a boiler room as a punishment, a group of parents say in a recently filed lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed Dec. 8 in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court’s civil division by three sets of parents. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors is among the defendants.

The parents claim in court papers several employees at the K4-8 elementary school on North 35th Street sent kids to the boiler room if they misbehaved.

Some of those staff members, as well as students, referred to the boiler room as “The Dungeon,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims a former male paraprofessional at the school locked three students in a boiler room multiple times during the 2022-’23 and 2023-’24 school years.

In the lawsuit, the parents said the “dungeon” presented a serious hazard to the children because of the potential exposure to “chemicals, cleaning agents, boilers, and other machinery.”

The paraprofessional resigned in November 2023 after he was investigated for violating several school district policies. At the time, he told district officials he placed the students in the room as a scare tactic, the lawsuit states.

Among the defendants is former assistant principal Dennis Daniels.

He pleaded guilty in January to a misdemeanor charge of attempted misconduct in public office after failing to alert police that an 11-year-old student brought a gun to school in February 2024.

He initially was charged with a felony, but brokered a deal with prosecutors to instead plead to an amended lesser charge.

“Milwaukee Public Schools is committed to maintaining safe and welcoming learning environments for all students and staff,” Stephen Davis, an MPS spokesman, said in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “While we cannot comment on ongoing litigation, the district thoroughly investigated this matter in 2023 and took appropriate disciplinary action which included termination of employment.”

In a statement, Milwaukee attorney Drew DeVinney, who represents the parents, described the alleged behavior of school staff as “disbursing and egregious,” and that it appeared no one intervened to stop it.

He urged other families to come forward if they also were impacted.

“Concerningly, MPS did not report any of these instances of seclusion and restraint to the Department of Public Instruction, in violation of Wisconsin law.

“We hope that this lawsuit will serve as a vehicle to prevent further incidents and abuse, and to obtain justice for our clients.”
