NBA Wednesday Night
Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks
Game 2
The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 1 of their first-round series to the Orlando Magic, and now they've lost Game 1 in the second round as well. Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat played fantastic defense to come away with the 115-104 win and take a 1-0 series lead.
Butler has always wanted to be the main man, and he's been up to the task in his first postseason with Miami. After leading them to a first-round sweep of the Indiana Pacers, Butler dominated Game 1 of this series, finishing with 40 points and four rebounds to set a new playoff career-high. Goran Dragic also excelled for the Heat, going for 27 points, six rebounds and five assists.
Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly recorded a triple-double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, but the Heat largely held him in check, and he had a really rough day from the free throw line (4-of-12). Khris Middleton (28 points) and Brook Lopez (24) both had strong nights, but they did most of their work in the first half.
