The Milwaukee Bucks were no more than 10 minutes removed from winning their first-round series, and coach Mike Budenholzer had already shifted his thinking to what awaits against the Miami Heat.
Such is life for coaches in the NBA.
Budenholzer's message was clear: "We're going to have to be a lot better against a really good Miami team," he said.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinal matchup between the top-seeded Bucks and fifth-seeded Heat is Monday night in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The Bucks are trying to return to the East finals for the second straight season.
