Antetokounmpo triple-double, Milwaukee’s seventh straight win, which also knocked the heat to the canvas

The rivalry the Bucks and Heat have created over the past few years is tremendous and continued into the early hours of Sunday (5/2) at the Fiserv Forum with the Milwaukee team taking the win (123-115) and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s writing wrote 32 triple-doubles of his career.

The Stags (23-5 home and 13-12 a) climbed to 36-17 and put on a seven-game winning streak before taking to the streets for extremely demanding games in Portland and Los Angeles against the Lakers and Clippers. The Greek freak was magical, stepping on the gas whenever he found space, making magical passes and taking advantage of his shooters, while Khris Middleton (24/7/4 in 21 minutes), Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen provided energy and valuable solutions from theirs regional execution.

Miami fell to 29-25 (17-9 home and 12-16 away), which is under pressure to stay in the East’s top 6 to automatically qualify for the playoffs without struggling in the play- in tournament. Erik Spoelstra was without Kyle Lowry, Victor Oladipo and Duncan Robinson, Tyler Hero and Jimmy Butler played motivated and confident, but in the end the best team, which is the best of the season anyway, won.

The Milwaukee Bucks’ next opponent is Damian Lillard’s Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night (February 7th at 5:00 a.m.).

Antetokounmpo’s account

He came into play in epic fashion, with 2/2 shots, an incredible drive and a full court assist for his team’s 15-7 run in the third minute. He had 13/4/4 on 4/4 2-points and 5/5 shooting in the first third, was calmer in the second, came close to a triple-double in the third when he passed flawlessly to double teams, and wrote it early in the fourth to get performance out of his mind and commit to the goal. What he achieved with another magical, with another imposing, with another astonishing appearance.

The race

With goals, rebounds, dribbles and shots on target from Antetokounmpo, the Bucks came into play impressively and led 15:7 after just three minutes. They had a good lead thanks to their leader’s all-round play (13/4/4 in the first period) and would have escaped by more than eight points on a slightly more effective outside shot (34-26) that flattered the Miami.

The Heat made a good showing early in the second 12, but Giannis kept scoring in spurts and Carter scored with a three to make it 48:38 after 17 minutes. Hiro and Butler were the two who caused problems for Milwaukee while Middleton struggled to find a rhythm and play consistently. He scored with good efficiency, but the home team’s defense didn’t work. Hiro reached 18 points with a 3-pointer to end the game 62-62 at halftime.

Butler was unstoppable early in the second half and put the Heat ahead midway through the third half, but Giannis was there to attack and get shots for his teammates. The 8th assist led to Allen’s 3-points for 85-79, but the derby continued and the 94-92 from twelve minutes promised a thrill.

Antetokounmpo hit 10 assists in the last 10:17 when Carter made a 3-pointer to make it 99:92, then snatched his 10th rebound and then hit a foul shot for a 105:99 lead that kept the Bucks within reach. Middleton and Giannis looked for a collaboration between them, they found it and the Elafias achieved their seventh straight win, signed by Holliday with a three for 117-106 in the 45th minute.
