The Miami Heat defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 119-114, at Kaseya Center in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Monday. The Heat hold a 3-1 lead in the series.

The Bucks looked like the better team for three quarters and should have closed things out in the final 12 minutes. However, they couldn’t get the deal done, and now they are in a huge hole in their first-round series against the Heat. Having Giannis Antetokonmpo back following his two-game absence provided a huge boost, and the Bucks raced out to a 33-28 lead in the first quarter. Milwaukee also won the second and third quarters, 24-22 and 32-28, and they held an 11-point lead with one quarter to go. The Heat woke up late and grabbed the lead in the final minutes, aided by an impressive 13-0 scoring run in the final minutes. Miami held on to their advantage in the dying seconds and secured the win after outscoring Milwaukee by a 41-25 score in the final 12 minutes. As a result, the Heat now hold a 3-1 lead in the series. Game 5 -- and potential series decider -- will be played Wednesday at Fiserv Forum.
