Powering through the fifth and final game of a grueling Western Conference road trip, the Milwaukee Bucks found that even as underdogs, having “The Big Dog” trumped all concerns with the game hanging in the balance. As consistent as they come among his generation’s most prolific three-level scorers, Robinson puts his traits on showcase in a tie game with only two seconds remaining. Making himself available to retrieve an inbounds pass, the newly-named first-time Eastern Conference All-Star maneuvers himself into open space against Adam Keefe before burying a stepback 3-pointer to ensure victory. In a matchup that saw 23 lead changes, 18 ties, and an intriguing clash of styles between the Utah Jazz’s established, methodical approach and the Bucks’ soon-to-be-heavy 3-point attack, Milwaukee captured a win that would later help fuel a postseason berth. Robinson offered his share through an efficient performance, recording 30 points (on 11-of-21 from the field), three rebounds, two assists, and a perfect four-of-four showing from 3-point range in 38 minutes of play on February 3, 2000. · Feb 4, 2000
