| Surging Bucks rally past Celtics in 4th (AP) |
A serious mismatch on paper, it looked even more ridiculous in real life: Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings, all of 6-foot-1 and 169 pounds, standing up to Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis -- a player 8 inches taller and nearly 130 pounds heavier.

That prospect left Dwyane Wade fuming after the Heat's second-half offensive meltdown. Thanks to D.J.
