Last time the Bucks played the Heat they held Milwaukee to 8 points in the 1st quarter. Tonights game felt the same way as Miami was up on the Bucks 37-19 after the first quarter. It was starting to feel like the Heat just had our number and I was sitting here fearing what might happen if we meet the Heat in the first round of the playoffs.
The second quarter came and the Bucks played the Heat much better only being outscored 25-23 in the second quarter. That still left the Bucks going into the half down by 20 points in Miami with the Heat very much in control. When Coach Bud went into the locker room with his team he knew things had to change and his Bucks were up for the task.
