The Milwaukee Bucks are 25-31 on the season following their thrilling 128-117 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night. Kevin Porter Jr. led the way with 32 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, while Ryan Rollins had 21 points, four rebounds, and five assists. Bobby Portis added 21 points off the bench, and reserve center Jericho Sims grabbed 10 rebounds to go with eight points and five assists.
With the win, the Bucks remained 1.5 games behind the Charlotte Hornets for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference. After an incredibly long, tough stretch to start the year, Milwaukee has won seven of their last nine games and are hoping to make a run at a spot in the play-in tournament by the time the regular season ends.
They will continue this pursuit on Wednesday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at home in Milwaukee.
