No one who watched the first-two quarters envisaged this, not even Milwaukee Bucks who trailed Miami Heat by as much as 21pts after 5mins into the 2nd quarter, only to completely turn it around and record a comprehensive win.
Bucks had an impressive 4th quarter after Heat went to sleep, going on to record a very impressive 130-116 victory. In fact Milwaukee started the comeback in the 3rd quarter, outscoring Heat by 36-25 points, then cementing it in the 4th with a 38-28 tally.
Prior to Half-time, Heat looked like they were going to run away with the game, and although their Centre, Bam Adebayo had made just 6pts of their 73pts as at then, they had baskets spread across the team and had really handled Giannis Antetokounmpo very well up until then.
Giannis would go on to have a joint game-high 33pts alongside Khris Middleton, with the Greek player also hitting double digits in the rebounds (12).
Adebayo might not be happy with his points tally and how they lost the game, but he was his team’s second-highest assist contributor (6) and made 5rebs in the match playing 21mins: 57s.
Heat will look to bounce back when they face Phoenix Suns who are on a 4-0 run, but they will be wary coming up against them after seeing how they stunned Indiana Pacers.
