Since the 2-5 Celtics arrived in Florida November 2nd, they have the 6th best Net Rating in the NBA (GSW, Phoenix, Utah, Milwaukee, Brooklyn).

Five Degrees of Heat from Saturday night’s 124-102 loss in Milwaukee: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. More first-half malaise.
2. Herro gets his milestone the hard way.
3. Tucker get his championship ring.
4. Robinson still a trendsetter.
5. Hope, perhaps, on the horizon. – 11:24 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Terance Mann’s runout following a Haliburton miss was the only Clippers FG in the last 7:29 of the first half.
They’re fortunate to be down only 50-45 at half in Sacramento. Clippers shooting only 33.3% from field, and it’s really bad inside arc (missed 12/19 paint, 5/6 middy) – 11:08 PM

All 6 games tonight are rest-advantage games. Teams that didn’t play last night (CHI, MEM, MIL & SAS) are 4-0 so far.
POR has climbed out of a big hole. SAC up 6 at the half on the Clips.
Rest-advantage teams are 52-31 (.627) this season. Would be best mark of last 8 years. – 11:07 PM

Tyler Herro:
“We kinda dug ourselves a hole there in the first quarter…We didn’t really make shots all night.”

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Winderman’s view: Heat on fumes in Milwaukee meltdown, plus other Heat-Bucks thoughts. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…10:35 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
FINAL: Bucks 124, Heat 102
– Connaughton 23pts/4reb
– Middleton 22pts/6reb/9ast
– Portis 19pts/16reb
– Holiday 16pts/5reb/7ast – 10:33 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks lead 120-97 after grinding through offense the other night in Toronto. It definitely helped that Khris Middleton shot 50% from the floor and scored 22 points. – 10:31 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Despite shooting 28.4 percent so far, Mavericks are only down 74-62. A couple of 3-pointers would put some heat under the Grizzlies’ collar. – 10:30 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
I wasn’t sure if we were going to get it, but there was never a doubt.
Budenholzer with the use-it-or-lose-it with 3:36 left and the Bucks up, 117-93. Wow. – 10:25 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Mike Budenholzer calls for time with 6:49 to go in this one. #Bucks lead 112-88 but they’ve been outscored 12-7 thus far in the quarter and have turned it over four times and have had two, three-pointers blocked. – 10:18 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Well, the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies up next, who could improve to a 4 game winning streak tonight
They will need Jimmy Butler on Monday – 10:12 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Bucks once again find themselves in the position of being up huge in the fourth quarter.
Bobby Portis checks back in as they’re up 107-79. – 10:10 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Bucks 105, Heat 76 after three. Heat frustration starting to boil over. Dewayne Dedmon with a season-high 13 rebounds, so there’s, um, that. – 10:06 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
One quarter to go in this one – #Bucks up 105-76. – 10:06 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Lengthy review here as the officials are trying to figure out what to call as Thanasis Antetokounmpo tried to grab the ball from Gabe Vincent after the play. Vincent was on his back and he kicked his legs in the air.
Officials decided on a double technical. – 10:04 PM

Bucks have continued to build their lead here in the third quarter. They’re up, 97-71, with 2:44 left in the third quarter.
Just outworking the Heat. Beating Miami on the offensive glass regularly and getting where they want on offense. – 9:53 PM

Hard foul by Tyler Herro on that Bobby Portis breakaway. He finished through the contact.
Portis popped up quick, looking like he was ready for action. But he just had a big smile on his face as Khris Middleton held him off. – 9:44 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Bobby Portis was a bit hot after that foul by Tyler Herro — Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday made sure to find him as he got up — and then Bobby flexed to get the crowd going. #Bucks up 84-62. – 9:44 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Duncan Robinson has reached 600 career 3-pointers. – 9:43 PM

Bucks 69, Heat 52 at half. Herro 13 for the Heat. – 9:18 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
I joked about it at “An Evening with @SethPartnow“, but Khris Middleton will never, and I mean NEVER, miss the chance to fire up the 2-for-1 3-pointer at the end of a quarter or half.
Hit that shot tonight. Hit one in Toronto too. – 9:18 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Bobby Portis is whistled for a charge on his buzzer-beating attempt.
#Bucks lead 69-52 at the break. – 9:18 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
This is a great test for Tyler Herro tonight
They’re really throwing everything at him right now, which makes sense on a night without Butler/Bam – 9:15 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Kyle Lowry has seven assists at a point the Heat only have 14 baskets. – 9:13 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
DeMarcus Cousins now has four fouls here in seven first half minutes.
Tyler Herro has drawn the last two by just driving into Cousins’ chest and getting contact on the way to the rim. – 9:12 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
DeMarcus Cousins is whistled for his fourth foul here in the first half. 2:35 left. – 9:12 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Tyler Herro has reached 2,000 career regular-season points. – 9:10 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Miami’s offense so far has consisted of major discomfort due to the Bucks defense
But that has blended into a settling shot profile
They’re just taking the shot that is available, which may not be the best look – 9:08 PM

Tyler Herro’s third 3-point attempt tied Chris Bosh for 18th on the Heat all-time list. – 9:01 PM

Miami essentially doing exactly what Milwaukee wants them to
They gotta get back to the basics, and that starts with Tyler Herro on the ball – 8:59 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bobby Portis showing off the point guard skills.
Brings it up the floor, attacks the gap and kicks it to Pat Connaughton for a right corner 3. Bucks up, 51-37, with 6:53 left in the second quarter. – 8:58 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks have their biggest lead of the game at 51-37 after eight straight Pat Connaughton points. – 8:58 PM

DeMarcus Cousins has earned himself several more years in the league as a role player by being fit and embracing his limited minutes. Who woulda thunk it? 👏 👏 👏 – 8:54 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Erik Spoelstra not happy with his team there. They were trying to apply some full court pressure.
Khris Middleton (QB1) chucked one into the turkey hole on the left sideline to Rodney Hood. He skipped it to Connaughton for a 3.
Bucks up, 46-37, with 8:06 left in the first half. – 8:53 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Those were the first points of the night for #Heat guard Kyle Lowry. He’s now 1-for-6 from the floor. #Bucks lead 46-37. – 8:52 PM

End of the first
Dewayne Dedmon and PJ Tucker have to be completely staggered the rest of the way
Just feels Omer minutes need PJ lined up next to him, while Dedmon can handle his own – 8:43 PM

Bucks 34, Heat 23 at end of one. Dedmon with 8 points, 4 rebounds for Heat. Both teams shorthanded. Holiday with 12 for Bucks. – 8:43 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Who would’ve thought before the season that Miami would be running a Gabe Vincent-Max Strus-Caleb Martin-Omer Yurtseven lineup against the reigning champs – 8:40 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
DeMarcus Cousins might not be able to move like he used to, but he really sees the floor well.
You can tell he’s a guy that used to be the focal point of an offense with a usage rate north of 30 percent. When defenses bend towards him, he sees the pass. Helpful skill. – 8:38 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Wesley Matthews checks in for the first time – nice welcome back applause for the #mubb alumnus. – 8:36 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
And there is Wesley Matthews.
Checking in with 1:52 left in the first quarter. – 8:36 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Javonte Smart and DeMarcus Cousins on the floor for the Bucks now. No Wesley Matthews yet. – 8:33 PM

Dewayne Dedmon has eight of the 14 #Heat points. Jrue Holiday has 7 of the #Bucks 19. – 8:28 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Khris Middleton got up heated & wrapped up Dewayne Dedmon after Pat Connaughton’s missed dunk. Dedmon knocked Middleton to the floor in the open court trailing the play. #Bucks lead 10-6. – 8:24 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Khris Middleton is furious. He dropped the ball off to Pat Connaughton for a dunk and then cut in front of Dewayne Dedmon. Dedmon gave him a push and Middleton hit the ground.
No foul called. Connaughton missed the dunk. Middleton quickly fouled Dedmon following the rebound. – 8:23 PM
