Milwaukee was on fire from distance in the opening half, going 15-of-29 from three-point range in the first two quarters of action. Bryn Forbes led the charge for the Bucks with 19 points on five triples. Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton also chipped in with three triples apiece. Even Giannis himself joined in on the fun, going 1-of-4 from distance in the opening half.

Barring a second-half collapse by the Bucks, they should be able to hold on for the Game 2 win. The Heat are in a heap of trouble, and for them, going down 2-0 in the series could prove to be an insurmountable disadvantage. Then again, even the Bucks know that you can never count out Miami. As expected, this has been nothing short of an outstanding series between two of the top sides in the Eastern Conference.
