Giannis Anetokounmpo and Kris Middleton scored 33 points as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Miami Heat 130-116 and secured the top spot in the East conference.
It was not an easy task, as the Bucks come back from 23 down to shock the Heat after a mediocre first half.
Giannis had also 12 rebounds and four assists, leading the charge despite six turnovers and making all 13 of his two-point attempts.
Playing without Slovenian guard Goran Dragic and Jimmy Butler, Miami despite a 73-56 lead after the first two quarters couldn’t capitalize.
To be exact, they simply couldn’t keep up with the Bucks who turned the game around with a 20-5 run in the third quarter and now have a 55-14 record.
Duncan Robinson with 21 points was the top scorer of the losing side which now has a 43-26 record and the fourth spot in the East.
