Totally, the Heat are crushing the Bucks over time

In Florida, if Giannis Antetokounmpo is still not in a side outfit Bucks, Miami can, on the other hand, count on a group that is finally complete. Unsustainable in the fourth quarter, Tyler Herro (29 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds) leads Heat to a new victory, against Ryan Rollins (26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) i Miles Turner (24 points, 8 rebounds), too lonely s Milwaukee.

In the first half, Miami generally controlled the game, relying on a particularly striking team where, as intended, danger could come from anyone. Coming off the bench, Kel’el Ware exemplifies the interior dominance of his team, which makes sure to push the tempo as quickly as possible, especially with Tyler Herr.

By contrast, Milwaukee held on and worked hard to come back from a -9 tie thanks to some 3-point shooting. Under the impetus of this double Ryan Rollins – Miles Turner, through whom everything happened from the beginning, with more or less success and with more or less colorful in the game. The absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo obliges…

With Tyler Hero and Bam Adebayo trying to pick up speed after the break, Myles Turner is keeping the Bucks in touch as best he can, closing the gap between the two teams on the interior (with help from Bobby Portis). He continues to deliver blow after blow, until Tyler Hero decides to take matters into his own hands in the final act.

Included in all the baskets of 11-2, which puts the Heat at +12, the All-Star guard assumes his status. If Myles Turner and Gary Trent Jr. don’t quit, the Hero/Adebayo duo doesn’t hesitate to perform well, even with just one possession remaining. Finally, Myles Turner’s last-ditch 3-point attempt to tie the game was missed, and there was no overtime: 106-103.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– Miami, complete and confident. If we leave it aside the tricky case of terry rozierErik Spoelstra has a full group and finally managed to put together a five of Davion Mitchell, Tyler Hero, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Bam Adebayo. The bench (Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Pelle Larsson, Nikola Jovic, Drew Smith, Simone Fontecchio) is also interesting, thus offering different options to the Heat, who with this depth of the lineup puts constant pressure on their opponents. This will wear down the Bucks, as it happens.

– 800th for Erik Spoelstra. For the seventeenth time in history, a coach has reached the figure of 800 victories in the NBA and it is Erik Spoelstra (in 1,378 games). Seventeen years after his debut on the Heat bench as a head coach, he has a nice 58% winning percentage, while only Gregg Popovich (1,390 – Spurs) and Jerry Sloan (1,127 – Jazz) have reached this total with the same franchise. In full transition in the game, “Spo” currently leads Miami (13-6) to a good 3rd place in the East, barely two and a half games behind the leaders, Detroit.

– Milwaukee is eagerly awaiting Giannis Antetokounmpo. It’s now six straight losses for the Bucks, who remain 11th in the East, two games out of 10th. It’s clear that the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo is necessary to revive a team that didn’t start badly (6-3) before starting to pile up setbacks. The good news is that the “Greek Freak”, seen during the warm-up, was “questionable” for a long time for this trip to Miami, before being announced as “out”. So we imagine he should return to competition soon.

– Miami eliminates Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago and Washington ! With the Knicks winning earlier in the evening, the Heat sealed the fate of five teams in this 2025 NBA Cup with a win against the Bucks. The Hawks, Celtics, Nets, Bulls and Wizards will therefore no longer be able to be drafted as the top 2 picks in Groups A, B and C. Close to qualifying, Miami (3-1), however, remains under threat from New York (2-1), and Milwaukee’s (2-1) win over the Knicks will advance to Friday’s next game. If the Bucks lose, Floridians will have to rely on the draft.
