Heat close out series with Bucks to reach Eastern Conference Finals

The Miami Heat are headed back to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat closed out their semifinals series against top-seeded Milwaukee on Tuesday night, beating the Bucks 103-94, to take the series 4-1.

They’ll move on to the conference championship series for the first time since 2014.

“It’s not easy to get back to the conference finals, and our organization knows that. We’ve been trying desperately to get back to the conference finals,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said, via WPLG’s Clay Ferraro. “That’s not our ultimate goal, we get it.
