It’s a wrap, folks! The Miami Heat’s playoff run ended as quickly as it began, succumbing to a red-hot Milwaukee Bucks in four games with a 120-103 loss at the final game of the soon-to-be-renamed AmericanAirlines Arena on Saturday.
Yes, Miami’s play in the first half inspired hope amongst many in Heat Nation (including yours truly), but it was short-lived, as the Bucks hit their stride again in the second half causing the home team to fall back into their now familiar tentative style of play.
Coach Erik Spoelstra once again went with the more productive starting lineup of Goran Dragic, Duncan Robinson, Jimmy Butler, Trevor Ariza, and Bam Adebayo to start the game.
