The Milwaukee Bucks got back to their winning ways on Tuesday night, as they bounced back from their 122-94 drubbing at the hands of the Toronto Raptors on Sunday by defeating the visiting Miami Heat at Fiserv Forum, 128-117.
The Bucks have now won four of their last five outings and six of their previous eight games, and they likely would not have had that kind of success over those stretch without the impressive performances of Kevin Porter Jr. With Giannis Antetokounmpo still sidelined by a calf issue, Milwaukee has relied a lot in Porter to deliver, and he did so again in the Heat game.
Porter lead the way for the Bucks against the Heat
Against Miami, Porter dropped 32 points on 11/20 shooting from the field with seven assists, seven rebounds, two steals and a block. He also went 2/4 from deep and 8/8 from the charity stripe. With that stat line, he pulled off a feat only done by a Milwaukee player one other time in the last 15 seasons.

Over his last eight games, Porter has averaged 22.1 points on a 52.3 percent shooting, 8.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds.
