Miami Heat Still Feeling Good About Where They Stand Against Milwaukee Bucks

The Miami Heat took care of business during the first part of their series against the Milwaukee Bucks by winning one game on the road.

Now, they have a chance to regain homecourt tonight in Game 3.

“We know that a series doesn’t start, as Pat [Riley] has always said, until the road team wins,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We were able to get one of those wins, but they’re probably thinking the same thing, how they can take back control of the series. So it’s all about control. But it starts with [Saturday] night for us. We want to put together a much better effort and game than we did in Game 2.”

The Heat are coming off a blowout loss in Game 2, falling despite the Bucks playing without injured star Giannis Antetokounmpo. He is questionable tonight because of a sore back.

“We did what we were supposed to do," guard Max Strus said. "We got one, split on the road. Now it’s important to take care of home court. It will be a big game [Saturday]. We’re looking forward to getting back out there and redeeming ourselves after last game.”
