Eastern Conference Round 1, Game 4: Bucks (3-0) at Heat:
After three games, the defending Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat faced a must-win situation in the opening round, with the Milwaukee Bucks leading the series 3-0.
With the opportunity for a sweep, the Bucks didn’t miss. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and Bryn Forbes all tallied over 20 points to end the Heat’s campaign and punch a ticket in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Lopez scored a game-high 25 points on 11-of-15 shooting from the floor while Antetokounmpo and Middleton each registered double-doubles.
In his final game of the season, former Warrior Andre Iguodala notched eight points on 3-of-5 shooting from the field with a pair of triples in 26 minutes off the bench for the Heat. The veteran added three assists, three steals and two boards in a losing effort.
