Head Coach. Milwaukee Bucks. MIKE BUDENHOLZER. C. For most teams, a loss like this would just be chalked up to an off night and the second game of a back-to-back but the Bucks aren’t most teams. Budenholzer will be disappointed to have lost to the Heat for a second time this season, and will be somewhat concerned at how effectively Miami managed to shut Giannis down. Having said that, the Bucks created countless great shots that they couldn’t take advantage of, and the Heat knocked down an absurd percentage of their own looks. That’s firmly in outlier territory, although ensuring Milwaukee is more forceful in initiating contact on both ends should certainly be a focus when they next meet the Heat.
