The Bucks also had to do without star player Giannis Antetokounmpo in the third playoff game of the Eastern Conference. The Greek basketball player fell out in the first game last Sunday with a back injury and has still not recovered from it.
Despite this, Milwaukee got off to a strong start. The team even took an early lead of seven points, but was unable to hold on to it. With a 14-point final sprint, Miami ended the first quarter with a 29-21 lead. Butler had a share of no less than 17 points.
Miami extended their lead in the second quarter and went into halftime 66-53. Miami was shocked for a moment when the same Butler had to leave with a glute injury in the third quarter, and with 30 points to his name. But even though he didn’t return to the field, Miami kept control of the game and extended their lead even further.
On Monday, the fourth game will be played in Miami.
