Schwarber’s third homer followed a pinch-hit double by Gerardo Parra, a 34-year-old fan favorite who returned to the Nationals on Sunday when his contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester.

The Bucks had a 109-107 lead before Middleton missed a 3 attempt, but the Bucks got the rebound. They then turned it over on a shot-clock violation to give the Nets a final chance with 6 seconds left.

“When they get runners on base, they do a really good job of getting on top of every pitch that there is,” Lynn said. “That makes them tough. It doesn’t matter in and out, up/down, it seems like they are ready for it. They are doing everything they can to make sure they make those scoring opportunities as good as they possibly can be so you have to try to be better.
