Buckingham is only a few weeks removed from surgery and early on it looked there was some rust from his time off. In the second half he was the one who led the comeback charge. Closed the third with a flurry and made similar plays to start the fourth. Finally got a three to fall late in the third. While mixing in hard nosed, tough scoring around the rim. Even force a big five second count during the fourth quarter. He missed a couple good looks in overtime, which is sure to spur the tough guard to bounce back next week in the Area consolation bracket.
