Bucks 91, Heat 84
Brandon Knight hit three late 3-pointers en route to 20 points as visiting Milwaukee rode a strong second half to a win over slumping Miami.
The Heat played their second straight game without star guard Dwyane Wade, who is nursing a hamstring injury, and withered after the break while losing a third straight game. Chris Bosh, Miami's leading scorer, was limited to 10 points on 2-of-17 shooting while Mario Chalmers led the Heat with 18.
Jabari Parker scored 13 points and Larry Sanders had 11 for the Bucks, who snapped a five-game slide in the series. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zaza Pachulia also scored 11 points and Khris Middleton contributed 10.
The Heat led by as many as 12 points in the second quarter and settled for a 46-38 halftime lead. Chalmers' 3-pointer early in the third restored the eight-point lead before Milwaukee took over, putting together a 16-3 run to take a 57-52 advantage late in the third and going up 11 early in the fourth on a jumper by Pachulia.
Shawne Williams had two 3-pointers and a layup during a 9-2 run for Miami before Knight buried a 3-pointer with 3:12 left to make it 81-74 and then answered Norris Cole's triple with another shot from beyond the arc with 2:17 to go. Following a layup by Chalmers, Knight was good again from long range for an 87-79 advantage with 47.3 seconds remaining and four free throws helped seal it.
