Gary Payton played like it was his last game in New Jersey with the Bucks.
While Jason Kidd was scoring five points in the final 95 seconds of the Nets' 89-82 Game 5 victory, Milwaukee's All-Star point guard was not nearly as clutch or as accurate. Payton missed six of seven shots in the fourth quarter as the Bucks wasted an opportunity to take control of this first-round series.

Possibly the best thing the Milwaukee Bucks can do at this point is to rewind back to the spring of 2001, when they were taking on the Charlotte Hornets in an Eastern Conference semifinal series.
The Bucks had lost Game 5 of that series at the Bradley Center to fall behind, 3-2, and face an elimination game in Charlotte. The Hornets had the balloons up in the rafters ready for the post-game celebration, but the Bucks threw a damper on those plans by winning Game 6 and returning the series to Milwaukee.
