Bucks vs. Kings: Dame Time Strikes in Milwaukee
Man, oh man. What a night. In a raucous finish, Dame Time struck in the dying embers of the game, as Damian Lillard’s buzzer-beating three secured a 143-142 victory for the Milwaukee Bucks over the Sacramento Kings.
Game Summary
Sacramento has a fun offense, and it was on display to kick things off in this one. Led by De’Aaron Fox’s 12 points, Sacramento carried a 37-32 lead into the second quarter. Bobby Portis led with 11 points off the bench for Milwaukee.
The Bucks would turn on the jets and outscore Sacramento in the second quarter, allowing them to hold a 68-66 lead at the break. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 14 points served as the team high while De’Aaron Fox matched him with 14 of his own on the other side.
Thanks to the hot shooting from Malik Beasley, the Bucks protected their lead throughout the third quarter. Beasley served as the team’s leading scorer through three frames, and helped Milwaukee own a 95-91 advantage going into the final period of regulation.
It was an absolute gritty clash in the fourth, with both teams exchanging blows left and right. It was chippy too, as Mike Brown went absolutely nuclear and got tossed from the game. In the final seconds of the quarter, Giannis would get some free throws to put Milwaukee up three. However, he missed the second, allowing Sacramento to race down and get a basket from De’Aaron Fox, tying the game and sending it to OT.
Overtime was a wild rollercoaster. It seemed as if the Bucks should’ve both won and lost three times. A Kevin Huerter three gave the Kings a lead, which was then followed up by a Malik Monk jumper. Brook Lopez buried an insane 3-pointer in the corner to pull Milwaukee within one. De’Aaron Fox then split a pair of free throws, opening the door up for Dame Time — and the rest is history.
Lillard’s 29 points on the night were a team high for the Bucks. Giannis secured another triple-double with a 27/10/10 stat line. Malik Beasley (23) and Bobby Portis (23) each passed the 20-point plateau as well.
For the Kings, De’Aaron Fox poured in a game-high 32 points. Malik Monk came off the bench with 28 points and Kevin Huerter was big with 26 of his own. Domantas Sabonis also had 21.
What Did We Learn?
We learned how amazing Dame Time is. Wow. What a game. Here was my vantage point from press row:
The best part of this is Brook Lopez. Just absolutely speechless. As for his Dame Time celebration? He told us that he breaks it out when it’s necessary and that last night, it was necessary.
Here are more of the reactions:
Malik Beasley’s perspective on Dame’s buzzer-beater: “I was in the corner, just in case, ready to go. And I saw him slow down, actually with five seconds to go, so I was like…okay, this is definitely Dame Time. And it was Dame Time. And the rest is history.”

Giannis conversational postgames are always the best. He spoke for nearly over 15 minutes last night. This was some fun banter between us and him:
Giannis asked us if we agreed that Dame’s shot tonight was the best buzzer-beater in his (Giannis’) Bucks career.
We mentioned Khris Middleton’s shot against Miami. Giannis said that was a clean shot.
“Khris gonna be mad about it,” he joked.
Fun postgame energy tonight.

And as for his actual reaction to Dame’s shot?
Giannis on Damian Lillard’s game-winning shot: “When I saw the ball in the air, I was like, this shit is going in.”

And when I said that the vibes were great in the locker room, they were. At one point, Thanasis called me over to show me a video of a Cowboys fan breaking his TV. Just amazing.
Three Observations
Malik Beasley was a force.
Malik Beasley absolutely brought it. He was lethal from beyond the 3-point arc, going 5-of-9 from deep. When folks think about the Bucks offense, they immediately go to Giannis, Dame, and Khris Middleton — for good reason. But man, Beasley can bring it too, especially with that beautiful 3-point shot. All in all, Beasley contributed with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting. It was big for the Bucks tonight, and it’ll remain big for them a few months from now.
Giannis keeps doing Giannis things.
As he typically is, Antetokounmpo was big down the stretch. It took a little bit for him to get going, but he was big in keeping things close in the fourth. Ultimately, he finished with another triple-double, his fifth on the year. Three of his five triple-doubles have come in his eight games so far this month. Additionally, he hit some big free throws late. Yes, he missed one, but he did go 9-of-14 from the line.
This offense is so much fun to watch.
Milwaukee scored 143 points in this win. They continue to absolutely cook on that side of the ball. It’s the sixth time this season they’ve scored 140+ points. Their six games scoring 140 points this season are now tied for the most in a season in franchise history (2018-19). Also, four Bucks scored 20+ points last night, marking the first time this season they’ve had four 20-point scorers in the same game. Milwaukee has now had at least three 20-point scorers in each of its last three games. The offense continues to hum along.

- Lillard’s game winner was also the 2,500th 3-point make of his career and his second career game-winner. It was the Bucks’ first game winner at the buzzer since Giannis’ against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 4, 2017.

Squire Robinson leads a new generation of Milwaukee artists with his distinctly bold style
In a cavernous attic studio stands Squire Robinson.
Next to him on the ground is an unfinished painting of his. Hung above him are numerous paintings that he’s finished in the past year.
The walls are filled with works of art, crafted by the various artists who also call 100% MKE, a nonprofit arts studio and workspace at 217 N. Broadway, home.
Robinson’s art doesn’t just stand among them – it stands out.
Maybe it’s the saturated reds that prevail in each of his pieces.
Maybe it’s the bold strokes that create the even bolder figures that call his paintings home.
Either way, Robinson’s art has a tangible effect for those with the eyes to see.
“Sometimes the most important piece of art is that you feel. His art makes you feel,” Richard Badger Jr. said. Badger, who goes by the artist name Coyote Rich, is also an artist in residence at 100% MKE.
Robinson first fell in love with art through his grandfather, who painted signs for corner stores. Early memories of drawing contests with his grandfather enchanted Squire into the art world.
Later, Robinson drew comics and superhero characters, foreshadowing the powerful figures he paints today.
“My style has always been there, it’s just evolution, it grows and changes,” Robinson said.
Robinson, a 2024 graduate of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, has always had a certain fascination with Renaissance-era paintings.
Yet despite his appreciation of the style, something was missing.
“I appreciated the technique and skill, but I just couldn’t really relate to it,” Robinson said.
For him, the lack of diversity made the style feel distant.
Black culture in art
Now, Robinson’s style flows through the powerful Black people he paints.
“I took some of that flavor and remixed it to something that is more me,” Robinson said. “My inspiration comes from Black culture, music and my dreams.”
Robinson’s own personality is vehemently present in each of his pieces.
“His art has a very strong personality behind it,” said Nelle Speerschneider, a co-founding board member of 100% MKE.
By the end of a lengthy creative process, Robinson’s pieces are saturated with color and shapes that make viewers stop and stare. For Robinson, that’s the goal.
“To me, good art is when you can just stare at it and sit with it and think,” Robinson said. “If you see my work and walk right past it, then I didn’t do something right.”
Music and the flow state
Robinson said when he is met with a blank canvas, he doesn’t begin with a person or a setting; he starts with the mood. Then, with the help of music, he lets his art flow.
“I don’t try to contain the style, it’s just all me,” Robinson said.
Music is a big deal for Robinson. So much so that he can’t paint without it. Robinson’s taste in music, from classical and jazz to his love for Kendrick Lamar, seeps into his art.
“Squire’s art makes me feel like music,” Badger said.
Robinson said music helps him loosen up and get out of a funk.
“It helps me escape and enter that flow state,” Robinson said.
He said music supports his ethereal creative process.
“Sometimes when I paint, I feel like I’m being guided by something higher than me,” Robinson said.
Milwaukee made
As a young figure in the Milwaukee art scene, Robinson wears the city on his sleeve.
“Growing up in Milwaukee made me hard in the sense of staying true to myself,” Robinson said.
At 100% MKE, Robinson offers a unique voice. “It’s nice to have his youthful and urban take in the studio,” Speerschneider said.
Badger said young artists like Robinson are vital for pushing the scene forward.
“They’re the driving force of what Milwaukee looks and feels like,” he said.
Future goals
Going forward, Robinson wants to become an art therapist, someone who uses the medium of art to process emotional challenges.
“Art has always been a way to self-express and get my own feelings out,” Robinson said. “That’s why the tone of my paintings matters the most, because those feelings are what I’m trying to evoke.”
As for his art career, Robinson says his finest work is yet to come.
“I haven’t created my best one yet.”
