Game #17 – Milwaukee 64, Green Bay 63
Full Recap and Stats
Player Of The Game: It is a tough choice as the Panthers got a variety of contributions. Kaylon Williams hit the game-winning shot and also had seven assists, plus Ryan Allen had a double-double. But where would the Panthers have been without Paris Gulley Saturday night? He scored just enough in the first half to keep the Panthers in it and then came through at the foul line late to give Milwaukee a chance. He also got the assist on the Williams game-winner.
Key Stat: 32.3 – that’s what Green Bay shot in the second half after shooting 56.7 percent in the first 20 minutes.
