Khris Middleton, who wasn’t much of a factor in the first three quarters, caught fire in the fourth dropping 14 of his 20 points and sinking a three pointer to make the score 112-106 with just over five minutes left in the contest. Middleton continues to be an important piece for this Bucks team down the stretch when he is on the floor.
Brook Lopez added 18 points and 6 rebounds in 31 minutes of action while hitting a dagger three pointer from the corner to push the game out of Houston’s reach. Bobby Portis also continued to be a factor off the bench, putting up 11 points and 6 rebounds shooting 5-7 from the field.

After being knocked out of bounds on a loose ball in the last minute of the fourth quarter, Dillon Brooks was ejected from the contest after receiving his second technical foul. Brooks, who was visibly upset after not getting the call on the shove out of bounds, was tossed for speaking his mind to the official.
Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka was also thrown out of the game for coming onto the court and arguing the call after the play. Brooks finished with 18 points shooting 7-12 from the field before being tossed.
Milwaukee will now look to continue their home win streak on Tuesday, where Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs will travel to Fiserv Forum.

But for one runner, the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon took a tragic turn.
Cudahy police say during the marathon a vehicle hit a 28-year-old runner.
It happened before 11:30 a.m. near Henry and South Lake Drive, across from Aurora St. Luke’s Hospital.
Police say a 68-year-old Waterford woman driving southbound experienced a medical emergency. She sideswiped another vehicle, causing a rollover.
Police say the woman then hit the runner before then coming to a stop near the woods.
“These are obviously incidents we never want to see happen in any event, any live event,” said Jen Puente from the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon.
Neighbors say the southbound lanes were open to traffic, but the northbound lanes were closed for the race and the runner was alone.
There were no hard barriers blocking cars from getting close to the course.
“There were cones along the race route to indicate the race route, along with signage, public awareness and officials along the course,” added Puente. “The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon team will continue debriefing and looking at options to ensure runner safety not just next year but perpetuity.”
The runner and two drivers involved were taken to the hospital.
One vehicle was on its side

Puente provided an update on the runner who survived but never reached the finish line.
“The runner was released from the hospital and is at home recuperating and recovering,” said Puente.
Police say the runner who was hit is from Medford, Wisconsin, which is in the northern part of the state.
FOX6 is working to get an update on the others involved in this incident.
