The energy from the Bucks was much stronger tonight than in Game 1. They quickly leapt out to a lead, although the Heat had an answer of their own. To close things out, Brook Lopez banked in a hook shot at the horn, sending the Bucks into the second quarter with a 35-28 advantage.
With Giannis sidelined, Pat Connaughton received first half minutes — and boy, did he deliver. He buried several threes which served as a massive catalyst for the Bucks, who broke out in front by a massive margin at the break, 81-55.
