Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: February 9 at Miami Heat
By Adam McGee
Finale
The Heat have already secured the season series between these two teams, but that doesn’t make this game any less important for potential playoff implications either.
Miami’s recent struggles have left them two games back of Milwaukee, and with less than 30 games remaining, the opportunity to extend that gap for the Bucks isn’t insignificant.
The Heat have enjoyed frequent success over the Bucks as they’ve picked up wins with less talented teams due to outcoaching Milwaukee, and Friday will hopefully show Joe Prunty as being better suited to that challenge.
