There aren’t many teams the Milwaukee Bucks have a history of struggling against in recent years, but Tuesday’s visitors certainly stand out as one of the most obvious examples.
The Miami Heat will take to the floor at Fiserv Forum on this occasion, hoping to build on their sustained run of victories against the Bucks.
Miami’s defense has proved particularly adept at slowing the Bucks down, yet the hope from a Milwaukee perspective would have been that Mike Budenholzer’s appointment as head coach could put an end to that.
In the first meeting since Budenholzer took charge, the Heat again possessed the secret to slowing Milwaukee down, coming away with a win thanks to the diligent defense of players such as James Johnson, Bam Adebayo, Josh Richardson, Rodney McGruder and Justise Winslow.
