By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks suffered their first loss on the second leg of a back-to-back this season as they fell to the Miami Heat on Monday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Miami Heat on Monday night, making it not only their first loss on the back end of a back-to-back this year, but also the first time they’ve lost twice to the same team this season.
Having seen their 83-game streak of scoring 100 points or more come to an end on Sunday in Charlotte, the Bucks also served up another sub-100 outing as their offense really struggled in South Beach.

As the Bucks failed to get anything significant going from three-point range, 7-of-34, the Heat were red-hot from distance, going 18-of-37. That left an almost insurmountable gap to be made up elsewhere, and it was one the Bucks didn’t come close to bridging on what was an off night for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
That doesn’t provide any real cause for panic, as quite simply these things happen to every time, even if they haven’t happened all that often to the Bucks this year.
Still, with a potential playoff meeting not out of the question in a couple of months time, the Heat have certainly got Milwaukee’s attention.
With that in mind, let’s examine Milwaukee’s individual efforts from a rough night in Miami.
