Game 4: The Heat win the series 4-0
The Big
three and the Miami Heat cruised past the Milwaukee Bucks to advance to the
semi-finals, after Sunday’s victory 88-77. Lebron James scored 30 points along
with 8 rebounds and 7 assist, leading his team to their fourth straight win. Although
Dwyane Wade didn’t play in this game due to a bruised knee, and he wasn’t needed. Ray
Allen had another great night after setting a NBA career playoff record on Thursday,
finishing with 16 points. Udonis Halsem had 13 points and Chris Bosh added
10. Milwaukee wasn’t too far behind; they only trailed by 4 at the break and by
5 entering the fourth. But the Bucks lacked offense in the final quarter and
were outscored 21-15. Monte Ellis had 21 points to for his team, Mike Dunlevy with
17 to help cut into Miami’s lead, and Larry Sanders grabbed 11 rebounds. The
very confident, Brandon Jennings who declared that the Bucks would beat the Heat
in 6 games, was a no show. He finished with 3 points, only making 1 of his 7
attempts and didn’t participate in the fourth quarter.
Miami has
won 12 straight going all the way back to the end of March. They will now get a
lot of rest and wait for the winner of the Chicago vs. Brooklyn series.
Game 3: The Heat lead the series 3-0
After
getting off to a good start, Milwaukee couldn’t withstand Miami’s run in the second
half, falling to the Heat 91-104. Ray Allen scored 23 points including 5
3-pointers giving him the NBA career playoff record with 322 made 3-pointers. Lebron
James had 22 points and Chris Bosh ended with 16 points and 14 rebounds. The
Bucks were up 50-48 at halftime and it looked as if they had a slight chance,
after leading for most of the game. As we know the Heat like to go on their
infamous runs, in which they did 23-7 late in the third quarter. Once Miami had
a ten point lead going into the fourth, Milwaukee wouldn’t come close again.
Brandon Jennings and Larry Sanders had 16 points apiece. Esran Ilyasova followed
with 15 and Luc Mhah A Moute added 12.
No team
in the NBA has overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. Milwaukee will
have another chance for at least 1 win back at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on
Sunday for game 4. -@SarahTresChic15
