Bogut’s Stellar Ending Lifts Bucks Past Spurs

Andrew Bogut had the biggest moment of his NBA career.

The No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft made a fadeaway jumper as time expired to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 109-107 overtime victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night at Milwaukee.

Bogut also scored the tying basket with 14 seconds left in overtime and finished with 19 points, including five in an overtime in which the Spurs led by four. He had nine rebounds, seven offensive, and two blocked shots.

“I’ve never had a buzzer-beating game-winner, but to do it in the NBA against the world champions is a great feeling,” Bogut said. “The guy I’ve always looked up to is Tim Duncan. So, to do this against his team is a great feeling for me.”

Maurice Williams scored 28 points for the Bucks, who had lost six of their last seven games against the Spurs.

Duncan had a season-high 34 points on 15-for-28 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds before fouling out with 22 seconds left in overtime in the Spurs’ second straight loss.

“He did a great job on the offensive glass, made some big baskets for them and showed some great touch right around the basket,” Duncan said of Bogut.

Miami 111, Atlanta 92 -- Shaquille O’Neal made his first eight shots and finished with 28 points and 10 rebounds on 13-for-15 shooting in only 24 minutes to make Pat Riley victorious in his first home game since replacing Stan Van Gundy as coach.

The Heat improved to 4-1 under Riley by holding the Hawks to a season-low nine points in the first quarter en route to a 56-35 halftime lead.

Marvin Williams had a career-high 26 points for Atlanta. The Heat was without backup center Alonzo Mourning (upper respiratory infection).

Detroit 93, Portland 89 -- Richard Hamilton scored 23 points and Tayshaun Prince had 21 at Auburn Hills, Mich., to help the Pistons win their fifth in a row and improve to an NBA-best 20-3, the best 23-game record in franchise history.

Zach Randolph scored a career-high 37 points for the Trail Blazers.

Cleveland 110, Utah 85 -- Sitting out the fourth quarter, LeBron James had 25 points, six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes and the Cavaliers used a flurry of three-pointers, including four by Damon Jones in a 3:17 stretch of the third quarter, to win at Cleveland.

Gordan Giricek scored 16 for the Jazz, playing without forward Andrei Kirilenko (back spasms).

Charlotte 105, Chicago 92 -- Brevin Knight shook off a bruised right forearm and finished with 20 points and 10 assists at Chicago to help the Bobcats beat the Bulls for the first time in six meetings.

Chris Duhon led Chicago with 16 points.

Phoenix 111, Seattle 83 -- Shawn Marion scored 29 points to lead five double-figure scorers and the Suns’ reserves outscored the SuperSonics’ bench, 51-16, at Phoenix. Ray Allen, who scored 26 for Seattle, made four three-pointers to move past Glen Rice into third on the NBA career list with 1,662.
