Here’s the big news from this game, in order, because there’s more than one big news.
- Milwaukee won, meaning the series now stands with Miami holding a 3-1 lead.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo played just 11 minutes in the game, and left with an ankle injury at the 10:17 mark of the second quarter.
What does #2 mean as far as #1 goes? Well, nothing in the immediate term, but as far as Game 5 and beyond if there is a beyond? We have no idea!
Here’s the really wild part about Giannis leaving and not returning early in the second quarter: Miami played their best basketball of the game while he was in the lineup for Milwaukee.
