Nice play and it lets them get Giannis and Middleton out. But there is 8 seconds left. Miami is about 50% here to hit a 3 at the buzzer.
Who had Eric Bledsoe keeping the Bucks afloat in the second quarter on their bingo card?
Bucks starting to shake loose. PCs looks better, and with better offense they’ll play better defense.
Giannis on pace for 20-10-6 after 18-10-9 in Game 1. The Heat make him become Draymond Green - still a very good player but not a difference maker.

It’s frustrating, but like we saw with Utah last night, you just need to keep plugging. They were about an inch away from winning at the buzzer after being down (I think) 26 in the 3rd.
Middleton starting to get his, Giannis is really engaged defensively, role players coming on. Win the rebounding and hustle plays and you’ll get rid of that deficit quick.

You bet- regardless of what we all think, Bled thinks he’s a superstar. His swagger never fades.
Bucks only 8 assists... that needs to change.
Start of the third q will be critical. Miami stumbled some in the 2nd, they’re going to cone out and try to blitzkrieg them and get the lead back up to double digits. They need to come out with max effort and don’t lose the 50/50 balls...
Big challenge here....season may be on the line.
I think Miami probably could be called for a foul on every Bucks possession.
And Giannis gets another foul on an obvious charge. I don't like the challenge, but Bud feels he has no choice.
It's like Giannis knows he's not very good if he can't get in transition and you can see it in the way he's playing on offense.
Down 10 with Giannis having to sit is a recipe to let this get out of hand.
Butler was not stationary... he was sliding. I still don’t think this is going to get reversed.
Giannis in the first 150 seconds of the quarter.
1. Missed 9 footer
2. Turnover
3. Offensive Foul-Turnover

I think Giannis put his shoulder into the middle of his chest. I can't believe they overturned that. It's like the NBA office knew the game was over if Giannis sits.
Lopez can't handle Adebayo, but you can't risk Giannis on him with 3 fouls right now.

Good black helicopter take 
Bucks lucky to be within 11 right now. Wes Matthews, Marvin Williams, Korver, Connaughton, and DDV have all been awful.
3-13 with 7 points in 55 total minutes from those guys.
Bledsoe with a clinic there... cuts off Dragic, then helps on Butler and gets the turnover.
Back to 5. The Jimmy Butler tech on the review could be a bit of a turning point. It could have been a Flagrant 1, instead of 2 shots and the ball (as much as a 5 point play), the Heat only net 1 point.
Giannis falls asleep and doesn't get out on Herro. Inexcusable.
What a gigantic momentum killer and potential 5-6 point play.
That’s on Igoudala... he flings his feet forward and actually didn’t land in the place he started. How is a defender supposed to predict where the shooter is going to land? It is clear Igoudala was trying to draw contact.
You can't play Korver. I know I said maybe you try to play him to open up the offense, but he's such a defensive liability.
Korver has killed the Bucks the last 2 minutes.
But why are you playing a DDV, Connaughton, Korver, Hill, and Giannis lineup? It's like conceding two minutes of the game.
Well, you're telling me there's a chance!! Down 4 is doable.
Well... gap closed. Can they elevate their play and complete the comeback?
