NBA Playoffs Live Blog: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat
By Chris Lee
Welcome to HoopsHabit.com’s NBA Playoffs Live Blog of Game 3 of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat from the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! The tip is scheduled for 7 pm Eastern.
The Milwaukee Bucks will try to rebound down 0-2 in the series. The back court tandem of point guard Brandon Jennings and shooting guard Monta Ellis combined for 48 points in game one, but struggled in game two with 15 points combined. Power forward Erson Ilyasova was able to poor in 21 points. For the Bucks to get into this series, Jennings, Ellis and Elyasova must all have big games for the Bucks. Reserve guard J.J. Redick only played 8 minutes in game two and must find a way to be productive for the Bucks to take some of the scoring load off of Jennings and Ellis.
The Miami Heat won game one 110-87 and game two 98-86 and are seemingly in control of the series. One problem for the Heat is that center Chris Bosh is only averaging 12.5 points per game. If the Heat can get Bosh involved early it will force Bucks center Larry Sanders away from the basket and help generate driving lanes for small forward LeBron James and shooting guard Dwyane Wade.
Can the Bucks get on the board or will the Heat be one step closer to a sweep. Tune in at 7 p.m. to find out.
