"Miami was in this game throughout until being outscored 39-24 in a fourth quarter collapse. They were unable to get the necessary defensive stops and the offense went completely cold down the stretch. The Heat now drop to 31-28 overall on the season and get farther behind of 1.5 games to avoiding the play-in picture."
"Kevin Porter Jr. led Milwaukee with a game-high 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, including an array of clutch shots that helped put the Heat away. Ryan Rollins and Bobby Portis also added 21 points each."
"Wiggins had a tough stretch in the final minutes where he had missed an open 3-pointer followed up by missing a pair of free throws that could have tied the game. The Bucks had went on a run and never looked back since that sequence."
