Milwaukee Bucks: 3 things to watch for in Game 4 vs. Miami Heat

Milwaukee Bucks must prepare for any final move from Miami Heat going into Game 4

As the intrigue surrounds the Bucks and how they’ll respond in light of losing DiVincenzo for the rest of their season, they’ll have to weigh any last gasp or final chess moves the Heat might make going into Game 4.

We saw Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra turn to Goran Dragic to take over Kendrick Nunn’s spot in their starting lineup and that move didn’t do anything to sharpen the Heat’s lagging offensive attack. The Bucks limited the Heat to their worst offensive performance by offensive efficiency and Dragic finished with eight points on 3-for-14 shooting (2-for-6 from three) in what was easily his worst performance of the series.

After the rout in Game 3, Dragic gave a more accurate reading of the room of where the Heat stand in this series with the Bucks as ESPN’s Kevin Arnovitz relayed:

"“The rhythm is off,” Heat point guard Goran Dragic said. “It’s way off. We lose our confidence. We still have one game left.”"

The simple fact of the matter is that the Bucks have increasingly taken control of the series and the Heat have no adequate options to turn to in order to stop the bleeding at this point. It strongly resembles how the Heat absolutely throttled the Bucks during last year’s Conference Semifinals series.

Still, it’s hard to envision Spoelstra and the Heat holding anything back with their season on the brink and Milwaukee must be prepared for everything and anything.

Game 4 of the Bucks’ series with the Miami Heat will tip off at 12:30 p.m. CST at American Airlines Arena Saturday afternoon and you can catch the action on TNT as well as Bally Sports Wisconsin for those living locally.
