The Miami Heat could not take advantage of the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, but ultimately he wasn’t needed on a night the Milwaukee Bucks raced out to an early lead and never trailed on their way to a big 124-102 win.
Despite a solid victory against the Indiana Pacers on Friday, it was always going to be difficult proposition on the second night of a back-to-back on the road without their two best players. But with news that Antetokounmpo would miss out on the game due to calf soreness, and the unforgettable season opener against the Bucks that resulted in a 42-point route still fresh in fans’ minds, one would expect this game to be a lot more competitive than it turned out to be.
