The Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Miami Heat to the Fiserv Forum for an NBA game on Wednesday. The Milwaukee Bucks lost 119-114 in their last game over the Heat. Brook Lopez scored 36 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Milwaukee. Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from a two-game absence with a bruised back and had a triple-double — 26 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists.
The Bucks — who now need to win three straight, starting with Game 5 at Milwaukee on Wednesday — led almost the whole way, until the Heat roared back in the final minutes. Miami was 8 for 9 from the floor in the final six minutes, Milwaukee was 4 for 13, and the Heat outscored the Bucks 30-13 in that game-ending stretch. “We didn’t make enough plays on either end,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “And they did.”
The Miami Heat on the other hand won 119-114 against the Bucks in their last game. Jimmy Butler had the game of his life, and the Miami Heat had a comeback for the ages. Butler scored 56 points — tying the fourth-best scoring performance ever in an NBA playoff game — and the Heat roared back from 14 points down in the final quarter to stun the Milwaukee Bucks 119-114 on Monday night to put the NBA’s top overall seed on the brink of early elimination.
The 56 points also became Butler’s career high, as well as a franchise playoff record. And the 14-point fourth-quarter comeback became Miami’s biggest of the season, at the absolute biggest time. “We knew what we were capable of, even if nobody outside of this building, outside of this roster and outside of this organization believed in us,” Butler said. “That’s fine. We just want to continue to do what we know is possible.”
It is a statistically improbable story: The No. 8 seed now leads the No. 1 seed 3-1, something that has only happened four other times since the NBA went to the 16-team playoff format in 1984. But Butler has willed them there. He was 19 for 28 from the field, 15 of 18 from the foul line and added nine rebounds. “We deserved to win that game,” Heat center Bam Adebayo said, “because he played incredible.”
