Not even the Bucks now! Although they went ahead with +14 at the end of the third period, they saw Miami dominate in the final twelve minutes (40-13) and beat me 115-100 to go 3-0 and a victory in the East final. No team in the history of the playoffs has come back from 0-3.
Bad in the first half, he improved significantly but… only in the second Giannis Antetokounbo, who finished the game with 21 points (7/12 shots, 7/14 two points, 0/7 three points), 16 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 theft, 2 plugs and 3 errors in 35 minutes. Brooke Lopez was 22 and Chris Middleton 18 for Milwaukee, but they disappeared when the ball “burned.”
Jimmy Butler, who was absent in the first half, caught fire in the fourth period and led the Heat with 30 points (17 in the last twelve while all the Bucks had 13), 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Bam Adebayo was also excellent with 20 points and 16 rebounds, while Jay Crowder had 17 and Goran Dragic 15.
The fourth game is on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. (Greek time).
The match
The Bucks arrived determined to stay alive. Although the spaces for Giannis were again limited and he was not at all “warm”, thanks to the good hitting percentages they had an advantage during most of the first period (8-15, 16-22). In the second period, they hit a double-digit difference, 41-51, with Lopez and Middleton leading the way. Miami with Butler and Dragic out of rhythm saw Iguodala, Adebayo and Dragic charged with three fouls. So even though Greek Freak closed the half with just 7 points and poor percentages (2/3 two points, 0/4 three points, 3/8 shots), Milwaukee went to the locker room with +7, 50-57.
A Butler outburst led the Heat to 10-0 and an overtake (67-66), but the “deer” reaction was dynamic. With Antetokunbo waking up aggressively, the Bucks not only regained the advantage, but even went to +14 (73-87). Butler did not give up and with successive baskets he led Miami to the overthrow (96-93) in the middle of the last period. Milwaukee seemed to be in a panic, with bad decisions and the Heat with the confidence of their leader reached the victory winning the last period 40-13.
