NBA Playoffs: Miami Heat stun the Milwaukee Bucks, Jimmy Butler scoring 40 points in stunning win.

Jimmy Butler took over the 4th quarter to lead the Heat to a 115-104 win over the top seeded Milwaukee Bucks. Butler was on fire the whole fourth quarter, taking over in the clutch to pull away from the Bucks.

Jimmy Butler led the way with a career playoff high 40 points. Goran Dragic added in 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Bam Adebayo was a monster in the boards grabbing 17 rebounds, along with 12 points.

This is the second time in the playoffs that the Bucks lost the opening game of the series, dropping the first game against the Orlando Magic in the first round. Khris Middleton led the way for the Bucks with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Followed by Brook Lopez with 24 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo got a near triple double with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists.

The Bucks will be looking to bounce back in game 2, Game 2 will be played Thursday September 3, 2020.

Opinion

This series will be great, after sweeping the Pacers in the first round, the Heat continues to be red hot. Will it be the same story for the Bucks? dropping the first game and winning the next 4 straight. I think this series will go to the distance, I will predict Milwaukee in 6 or 7. For Game 2 I am predicting the Bucks to bounce back and win.
