The Milwaukee Bucks were denied a third straight victory by the Miami Heat in Florida Thursday night, falling 108-102 on the second end of a back to back. Giannis Antetokounmpo rested sore knees and despite a strong start, the Bucks couldn’t hang on. They led 23-14 after the first quarter but Miami battled back and finally took control in the final period thanks to a game high 28 points from Gabe Vincent. Jrue Holiday led the Bucks with 24 points and Jevon Carter added 18. Milwaukee also played without Grayson Allen, Khris Middleton and Wes Matthews. The Bucks are now 27-15 on the season, three and a half games behind the Boston Celtics and in third place in the Eastern Conference. They’ll stay in Florida and finish a rare two game set with the Heat in Miami on Saturday. Pre-game coverage begins at 11:30 AM with a 12:00 PM tip on WNFL.
