Bucks beat Heat so bad on record 3-point night, TNT stopped showing the game

The last time these teams met, the Miami Heat stunned the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the playoffs en route to the NBA Finals.

The Bucks clearly had Tuesday circled on their calendar.

Milwaukee opened Tuesday’s rematch on a 12-0 run on the way to a 46-26 lead at the end of the first quarter. By the time it was over, Milwaukee scored a 144-97 win and set a new NBA record with 29 3-pointers.

TNT cuts away from blowout

The blowout was so bad that TNT — which broadcast the game nationally — threw in the towel when the Bucks extended their lead to 93-62 in the third quarter.
