"The Heat were led by a career-high 28 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on an efficient 9 of 14 from the field (64%) by Pelle Larsson. Kasparas Jakucionis, who filled in again in the starting lineup for Tyler Herro dealing with a quad injury, looked impactful as well. The rookie guard added 18 points and 7 rebounds on 50% shooting."
"Miami was without with the services of each of Herro, Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins. The Heat secured the victory over the Bucks despite just 41% shooting as a team to Milwaukee's 49%. However, they won the turnover battle and also put their imprint on the rebounding- winning 53-36 on the glass with a 15-3 offensive rebound advantage."
"The entire starting lineup outscored the Bucks by a combined 66 points. Coach Erik Spoelstra opted to run Kel'el Ware with the starters alongside Adebayo with a double-big lineup again. Ware snatched 13 rebounds but struggled shooting the ball, going for just 6 points on 2 of 9 shooting."
