NBA Playoffs Game 3 Preview: Can Heat turn series against Bucks around in Miami?

The Miami Heat return home for Game 3 of their first round series against the Milwaukee Bucks with tip-off scheduled for 7:30pm.

After being blown out in Game 2, a game that was already lost by the first quarter when the Bucks put up 46 points (and no, that wasn’t their point total at halftime), the Heat have to hope that a change in scenery and a new attitude will help turn things around.

For as much as the Bucks dominated Game 2, let’s not forget that even though Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler struggled mightily in Game 1 as well, the team still had multiple chances to win and they played the Bucks more or less evenly in Game 2 (even if the game was long ago decided and bench players got plenty of minutes in the final quarter) after that disastrous first quarter.
