Hit a 138-122 blowout unimaginable without Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee’s two record scores to make the series 1-1

The main player in the series was eliminated from the match. The Bucks were under pressure, but Thursday dawn (4/20) showed that, with or without Giannis Antietekounmo, they are at a higher level than the Heat. They beat them 138-122, set a record in organization history with 81 first-half points and a second-record 3-pointers in a postseason game, and now they’ll travel to Miami for the break that will take them home. Domain feature.

A week of inactivity hurt the horses in Game 1, but this time it was very different. The ball went early to Brook Lopez who had no opponent at bat, Bobby Portis was indomitable on the rebound and since then has played Regionals with…the club. So much so that at the end of the night six players had +15 points, a performance that equaled another record in the history of the NBA playoffs.

Pat Connaughton (DNP in Game 1), Chris Middleton, Grayson Allen, and Joe Inglis hit perimeter shots while Jrue Holiday worked magic on both ends of the ground. In both defense and attack. Both in scoring and creating. A massive game from the second-best player in this team that’s having a great season.

The Heat, for their part, achieved their goal of one win in Milwaukee, but they sure know they’re not the series favorite. And it’s not because they don’t have the right size to match the bucks, they don’t have Tyler Hero, who suffered two broken fingers on his right hand, and they don’t have the chemistry to play basketball consistently well over time.

Jimmy Butler was… good Bam Adebayo went 2/6 from two putts and then found a rhythm Gabe Vincent delivered some goals but beyond that Erik Spoelstra didn’t have much to take from him tonight and continues to look for a player to fill Hero’s void . Duncan Robinson was a regular starter, but he was out of place and time to put in points when all was decided and with Kyle Lowry nervous, Caleb Martin would probably be in the starting line-up.

52-42 points at bat, 20-9 points in surprise, 44-45 points off the bench, 30-15 points from opponent fouls, 16-10 points from second chances, -31 on +/- Jimmy Butler and +28 Joe Engels .

Race

The Bucks opened the match with a clear goal, which was to touch the ball with Lopez. They built a nine-point lead (24-15 at 8′), where they were 5/6 2-pointers and Portis had 5 points and 7 rebounds, and closed the period at +7 (35-28) with 12 assists. For just one error and with Holiday in the lead role, they expected more from Middleton as Butler earned 13 points on 5/5 shooting.

With Portis barking at Antebayo early in the second period, the Bucks showed they had the spark they needed. Connaughton and Middleton combined shots from the perimeter for a 14-point lead that stretched to 21 (62-41 in 19′) and 32 (75-43 in 21′) as the 3-pointer rained out in Fiserv Forum and 81-55 in the break gave the team The host has an organizational record that has never been so fruitful.

A quick 7-0 Heat run to start the second half lead to a Budenholzer timeout, only for another Bucks to follow. Holiday was a wizard, Allen hitting three three-pointers to make it 101-73 with six minutes left in the third period, and as time went on the margin grew in favor of the home side who were enjoying the night.

The Heat tried through the zone defense to put some pressure on the Bucks at the end of the twelve minutes, but Carter’s twenty three-pointer and the English’s twenty-first made it 118-85 that finally clinched the game. Both coaches emptied their seats very early on, with Budenholzer forcing Holiday – Portis when Heat limited and lowered good damage, but achieved nothing else.
