So, how did Middleton heat up?

“Finally let them leave,” he said of his hot performance. “I have been trying to get the ball into the basket, but in the end they started to throw the ball for me at the right time. I am grateful for that.”

Of course, the Bucks are happy to see their second star appear at the right time.

NBA Twitter also praised Middleton’s game. Many Bucks supporters, basketball fans and media professionals took time to praise him for his timely winning streak.
