Stats and Highlights | The pass of three for Milwaukee and Miami

The scenario of the night was not the same for the Bucks or for the Heat, but the two teams nevertheless experienced the same result: a victory, which was the third in a row.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (41 points) and his teammates largely dominated the Pacers (ninth loss in ten games) and only needed to be confirmed in the second half when Jimmy Butler and company fought until the end against Orlando to keep their streak alive.

Minnesota–Memphis
Oklahoma City–Cleveland
Golden State–Toronto

Indiana–Milwaukee: 131-141

The Pacers are the comeback specialists this season. But then, they are really far away. The Bucks started the game very well, with nine award-winning baskets in the first quarter. They finished this first action with a 15-3. Before bringing home the point in the second quarter. Seconds before the break, there was a 30 point difference…

Indiana finally found its colors in the third quarter, Buddy Hield and TJ McConnell registered 26 points and Milwaukee was not as sharp. In an attempt to get even closer, Rick Carlisle’s troops sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to the free throw line.

The Greek, clumsy since the beginning of the game in this area, does not shake this time (5/8 in the last four minutes) like a few days before against Denver, and ends with 41 points.

Miami-Orlando: 110-105

It took the Heat a while to get rid of their neighbor in Florida. The first half, where Anthony Cole and Jimmy Butler shined, was dominated by the Magic. There was better in the third quarter, but Orlando, although clumsy at the time, ended this action with a 10-0 run to maintain control in the final quarter.

It is then that the dynamic is reversed. Miami gets the loose ball (20 total for Orlando, which would make it 32 points), goes 19-6 and wins.

The Heat remain sovereign at home as this is the sixth straight home win for Erik Spoelstra’s men. The end of the series on the other hand for the Magic, after two consecutive victories.
