Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee hauled themselves level in the series and snapped a three-game losing skid in Game 2.

The Bucks rested their star names over the final few games of the regular season and that resulted in a couple of defeats.

They were beaten 137-114 by Memphis and 121-105 in Toronto to close out their regular season campaign.

Milwaukee’s top talent returned for Game 1 of this playoff series with Miami, but that did not result in an end to their losing ways as they suffered a shock 130-117 defeat.

The Bucks rebounded to win 138-122 in Game 2 though, and they did it despite Giannis Antetokounmpo being sidelined through injury.

Miami Heat Form

Miami return home on level terms after winning one of the first two games of the series on the road.

The Heat came into the playoffs in mixed form after needed two attempts to successfully negotiate the Play-In Tournament.

They finished the regular season with four wins in five games, but fell to a 116-105 defeat when they hosted Atlanta in the Play-In.

Miami’s finishing position gave them one last chance to advance though, and they took it with a 102-91 victory over Chicago.

The Heat backed that up with a 130-117 upset of Milwaukee in Game 1 of this playoff series, but they failed to make it three-in-a-row as they were beaten 138-122 on Wednesday night.
