With Giannis Antetokounmpo a late rule-out the Milwaukee Bucks started Game 5 behind the 8-ball in their quest to extend their season against the Miami Heat; ultimately, they couldn’t manufacture enough offense to live another day as their season ended on a 103-94 loss. The Bucks found themselves at a surprisingly solid position after one, leading 28-19 after capitalizing on several Miami turnovers in the first. Milwaukee’s offense sputtered in the second quarter, coughing up the lead but still trailing merely 52-46 at halftime. It was a brutal 3rd, with a six minute stretch of 0 points but somehow the Bucks stayed within 73-65 at the end of three.
