Milwaukee Bucks appeared for 7 minutes of less than three minutes Miami Heat. They meant other things.
Leaded by 8 Brook Lopez points in the last 3:24 regulations, Bucks fought back to send the game to tiery overtime at 111. After handing over, they performed 8-0 to close the victory number 43, 121-115winning the 9th place in Play -Ff. The return maintains their half of the game on the piston, which he lost to Memphis on Saturday, because Milwaukee is preparing for the second stage of Sunday evening compared to the up-to-date Orlean.
Giannis Antetokunmpo, Milwaukee Bucks goes out for Miami Heat for critical in
As the biggest question is approaching after the season, the status of Damian Lillard, a blood clot in his calves from March 18 is the status of Damian Lillard. This week, Doc Rivers provided incredibly positive news, indicating that Lillard May, contrary to all adversities, be able to return before the season. Deep veins thrombosis, like Lillard, usually takes several months.
Bobby Portis will also be available from next week, after suspension of 25 matches while waiting for the end of the Pelicans game. However, whether he will be ready to move on to influential actions remains unclear. By eating a long absence, Portis may need many games to regain real -time conditioning and rhythm. With only four matches to do this before starting the season, how effective can be another uncertainty.
Bucks remained on the surface during Lillard’s absence, passing 5-4 and driving in three matches, after dropping four straight. Giannis Antetokunmpo was an critical reason – because he must be for his team. Leaving the first line of statistics 35-15-20 NBA compared to Philadelphia, Greek Freak laid Miami for 36 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists during shooting 13-21 from the floor in 43 minutes of action.
It was his seventh game with at least 30 points and his third in a row gaining 35+ with double -digit assists. He comes from the game after the explosion of Dame, he scored 60% or better from Field 8 games in a row. Against Miami, he gave his name again in record books.
Historical season, regarding the load on the work
For a player who ends the two best in MVP voting (for Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), Giannis has one of the largest seasons in history. Two -time prize winner publishes 30.5 PPG, 11.9 RPG, 6.3 APG with 60.2 fg%. And his games with 76ers and the heat made him the first player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968, who cut out the 70-30-30 in points, collections and assists in two competitions.
The only bad thing in the Hercules performance of Giannis is that Bucks need him to continue to produce at this level until Lillard returns. Certainly he can do it and not entirely alone – Kevin Porter Jr. He dropped 24, 12 and 8 on Miami from the bench. But wearing it to Play -Ff is far from ideal.
For fans, Bucks arouses restless feelings after an injury, which stopped Antetokunmpo from the first round of Milwaukee last year. Bucks bowed in the opening round of the second season in a row, when Indiana Pacers won in 6 matches.
In 2025 they will play in Indians again if they perform. Three games for Pacers in 4th place, Bucks are almost closed in fifth or 6th place. Their main task is to stop energy pistons. Perhaps he will not have to create a larger history, but Giannis will probably have to keep the cape in the foreseeable future.
