On Sunday, Monta Ellis performed as if he was playing an old-school arcade machine because he inserted a quarter in the fourth quarter. Ellis earned the game's high score, racking up 39 points and went on a Rampage (or went Berzerk, if you want a more obscure reference), during the last level, finishing with 19 in the remaining 6:32. Facing a Time Crisis, since his team was trailing by 13 entering the final 12 minutes, Ellis dug the Bucks out of a hole like he was Mr. Do!.
Neither he nor the Bucks were clowning around, posting 45 points over the course of the fourth, to leap-frog(ger) Orlando. Perhaps the Pac-Man cherry on top for Ellis was hitting a quintet of threes in the clutch. Ellis was so exceptional, nary a Defender could contain him*. That's how you 1-up the competition^.
