The last time these teams met was when the Miami Heat shocked the top-ranked Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the play-offs leading to the NBA Finals.
The Bucks clearly returned to their calendar on Tuesday.
Milwaukee reopened Tuesday with a 12-0 lead on the way to a 46-26 lead at the end of the first quarter. By the time he finished, Milwaukee set a new NBA record with 29 3-pointers, winning 144-97.
TNT
The blows were so bad that TNT – which broadcasts the game nationally – was thrown into the towel when the Bucks extended the lead to 93-62 in the third quarter.
“There are a lot of games going on in the NBA, 10 of them as facts,” said play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson, who returned from a broadcast commercial break. “This doesn’t seem to be one of them.”
He then threw it at studio host Ernie Johnson.
Charles Barclay, Kenny Smith and Shakeel O’Neill responded to Johnson before looking at other games around the league if banned, “Call us only when he’s under 15 or 20.”
They started with the Philadelphia 76ers’ game against the Toronto Raptors and found several games from the crowded NBA slate and made rounds from there.
They also watched a video of Stephen Curry shooting 3-pointers at the gym.
The bucks-hit never got back to 15 or 20. TNT Makes the transmission round. However he was investigating in the middle of the fourth quarter after Bucks set a new record for 3-pointers in the game.
Every buck but Giannis connects from a distance
Backup guard Sam Merrill Bucks’ 28th night 3-pointer was left to break the record with 6:07. It was the 12th buck to join the effort over long distances.
In fact, Giannis Antoine was the only player on the entire box roster who did not connect from a distance. The ruling MVP was one of the few Bucks players not to catch fire by attempting 3 out of 9 field goals while logging nine notches, six rebounds and six assists.
The Bucks Star-F-Night was no problem for his teammates. The players from the seven bucks scored in double figures, including Christ Middleton’s 25 and Jew Holiday Leeds 24.
With a 6-10-effort from a long distance the holiday led to a 3-point barrage. Donut Divensenzo added five made-up 3-pointers, and placed Middleto in fourth. Seven bucks players were connected on at least two pointers as the bucks warmed of1 – (- 51 – ((. 9 hot..9 per cent)) over a long distance.
Tyler Harrow led the Miami effort with 23 points. Jimmy played a hit without Butler, who suffered an ankle injury. But he wasn’t saving them from this 47-point difficulty.
