The Milwaukee Bucks didn’t end up needing Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night.
The Bucks, who ruled out Antetokounmpo due to a back contusion, absolutely dominated the Miami Heat in Game 2 of their opening-round playoff series. The Bucks cruised to a blowout 138-122 win at Fiserv Forum, which evened up the series 1-1 as it heads to Miami later this week.
Antetokounmpo went down in the first quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Heat after making contact with Heat veteran Kevin Love while driving to the rim.
