FT Milwaukee 120 Miami 119

Jrue Holiday hit the game-winner on a driving layup after two consecutive "Heat" T.O.'s (So Spo could get a "look" at what MIL was gonna do (He didn't get a good enough look.). Real playoff-caliber basketball. Tremendous show. But. However. For "Heat" fans, and as a "Heat" fan, it's a little worrying that we lost after making 47.7% of our treys while throwing up what has to be season high 44 attempts. Think making 21 threes can continue?

Giannis, Khris, Bobby Portis and Jrue scored in double figures for the "Bucks." Giannis had 28 and 17 rebounds. Jrue had 25 and 11 assists. Tyler led the way for Miami with 30 on 11/21 (6/10). Gabe Vincent, playing the point for Kyle "Personal Reasons" Lowry, scored 21 and had 6 assists, but also 3 turnovers. Somebody said Gabe really isn't a PG, or at least not a master like Kyle. Bam had 18 and 12. Duncan had the same numbers he had at HT, which confuses me. Caleb Martin had 12 points. Who's missing (besides Kyle)? Jimmy may as well have been out for "Personal Reasons": 6 points on 2/13 shooting, 0/3 from range, 3 rebounds, an assist, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, Jimmy was invisible in a big 35 mins. So, maybe it's not too worrying for us "Heat" fannies. How often is Jimmy going to have a putrid night like that?

Philadelphia astonishes me. Down 8 at the end of one and as many as 15 in the 2nd Q the "Sixers" came all the way back and then some to clobber the "Bockers" 123-108. When has NY given up a lead like that?
