"9 BLOCKS FOR BROOK LOPEZ.NONE MORE CLUTCH THAN THIS," tweeted NBA.

"Phenomenal. It was a close game and he made the plays that made the difference down the stretch," said Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer.

Lopez talked to the media about his match performance and reiterated that he had the ability to deliver clutch blocks as per the match situation.

"Definitely. Definitely. Again, it comes to the guards doing a great job. Brooklyn was out there shooting the ball. They were doing a great job shooting the ball, and so just in that last possession, those last couple possessions, (our guards) were doing a great job sending those guys downhill. And when they kind of give them that one option, I'm able to make the read and time it. If he's going downhill, full head of steam, I can time that pretty simply to get there at the right time," said Lopez.

Over the last 52 days, the Bucks have delivered a superb performance with figures reading 21-2. Currently, the Bucks are the best team in the NBA with a 48-18 record.
