The Milwaukee Bucks faced their second loss of the season down in South Beach against the Miami Heat, this time falling 104-113. Despite the best efforts of Jrue Holiday, who had a team-high 27, Milwaukee couldn’t overcome an off-night for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had just 15 and was hounded inside by PJ Tucker.
Milwaukee bounced back from a rocky shooting start to secure a 26-24 lead following the first. Behind a bevy of Heat turnovers, Milwaukee mustered a 51-44 advantage heading into half despite only nine points from Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Heat drilled a parade of longballs to close out the third period, catapulting themselves ahead 83-77.
