I played a thrilling game of Strat-O-Matic basketball, part of my 2005-06 Milwaukee Bucks replay, and on December 6, 2005, the Bucks defeated the L.A. Lakers 108-102 in overtime! The Bucks were in control for most of the game until the Lakers came back and made it a close game. The Bucks were up 94-92 with the last action card left in regulation, and Kobe Bryant gave Lamar Odom an open shot, which was a buzzer beating shot that sent the game into overtime. The game went back and forth, both teams changing leads in the extra period, but my man Fightin' Philip Fitzpatrick would put the game away late with 6 points in overtime, and Jamaal Magloire's slam dunk coming from a dazzler by T.J. Ford helped seal the win for the Bucks. Michael Redd out-dueled Kobe in a battle of high-scoring Olympic heroes, with Redd scoring 37 points and Bryant adding 36, but it was the 7-foot-1 Fightin' Fitzie, Philip Fitzpatrick, who was the star of the game. Philip had a career high 30 points, grabbed a career best-tying 19 rebounds (3rd time this season he has had 19 rebounds), had 6 assists and he also blocked 6 shots! He also had 5 slam dunks!Fitzie was the reason the Bucks won tonight, and he is also the reason they are 11-5, they are in 1st place in the Central Division. Anyway, I am going to recap the Bucks-76ers game December 7 up next... (Pictured from left to right, the three players who scored more than 30 points in tonight's game: Michael Redd, Philip Fitzpatrick and Kobe Bryant!)
