NBA Playoffs: Red Hot Miami Heat one win away from Conference Finals, looking to sweep Top Seeded Milwaukee Bucks

The Miami heat are on the brink of another Eastern Conference Finals as they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 in the best of 7 series 115-100. The Heat now lead the series 3-0.

It was another disappointing lose for the Bucks, as the Heat continue their playoff winning streak at 7 games after sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the first round. The Heat were down double digits at the start of the fourth quarter, when they went on a run and never looked back, outscoring the Bucks 40-13 in the fourth quarter.

It was looking like the Bucks were going to pull one win back at the start of the game, but the intense pressure of the expectations looks like it is weighing them down. It was another disappointing for Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he tweaked his right ankle in the first half. The Bucks are facing the impossible as no team has ever came back to win a series down 3-0.

Jimmy Butler continued his dominating performance in the 4th quarter finishing with 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Bam Adebayo added in 20 points and 16 rebounds, Jae Crowder followed with 17 points hitting some clutch shots to bury the Bucks in the fourth.

For the Bucks, Brook Lopez led the scoring with 22 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo added in 21 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists. The stats looked good but he missed all his 3 point shots. The Bucks will try to do the impossible as they try to avoid elimination and a sweep in game 4, this coming Monday September 7, 2020.

Opinions

I think this is done and dusted, Milwaukee might be able to pull 1 game back, but the Heat will surely advance to the Conference Finals. I predicted Milwaukee to win this series, the Heat has proved that prediction worthless.

What do you think about this series? Who will win Game 4? Let's discuss in the comment section below.
