Despite a late push from the Heat that kept the BMO faithful from fleeing for a jump-start on their Friday night soirees, the Milwaukee Bucks took care of business by putting away an injury-riddled Miami squad, 115-106.
Giannis seemed completely recovered from whatever cruel bug ailed him earlier in the week, starting the contest off with some thunderous dunks en route to 19 points, eight rebounds, six assists and a steal and block. Jabari Parker put up 24 points, five rebounds and two assists with 18 of those points coming in the second half. Greg Monroe had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Michael Beasley added another strong outing with 11 points and seven rebounds while Malcolm Brogdon had 13 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals.
