Game 2 of the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat series got off to a blistering start. Unfortunately for Miami, it was all Milwaukee in the first quarter as they dropped an insane 46 points to take a 46-20 lead heading into the second quarter.
However, the unlikely star of the quarter was Bryn Forbes.

The Bucks went bonkers. After a two-point Milwaukee victory in Game 1, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks came out and punched the Heat in the mouth. Forbes was sensational, going 5-of-6 from the field including four three-pointers to take a commanding lead to start the second period.
Forbes is money!

Jrue Holiday chipped in seven points and seven assists while Giannis had nine points and six boards with three dimes. The Bucks as a team drained 10 threes in the first, and they just can't miss from anywhere.
Jimmy Butler and the Heat have a large deficit to overcome. They are looking to erase the homecourt advantage, even the series and head back to South Beach in an effort to avoid a 2-0 deficit.
The Bucks shot 72 percent from the field and 67 percent from beyond the arc while out-rebounding Miami. Can Milwaukee continue shooting at this rate?
It is unlikely, but anything is possible in the NBA.
