Miami leads the series 1-0 after covering as a 9-point road favorite on Sunday. The Heat was led in the 130-117 win by a 35-point, 11-assist performance from F Jimmy Butler'and a 22-point, 9-rebound showing from C'Bam Adebayo. The Heat’s biggest concern moving forward is how to replace the production of G'Tyler Herro'who exited the game with a fractured hand after scoring 12 points in less than 20 minutes.
The Bucks were led by 33 points from F'Kris Middleton, 21 from F'Bobby Portis, and a 16-point, 16-assist performance from G'Jrue Holiday. F'Giannis Antetokounmpo'exited the game early with just 6 points after a scary fall resulting in a back injury. Replacing the ‘Greek Freak’ could prove to be challenging for Milwaukee.
