    The Bucks play the Heat in their second game of their back-to-back with Miami tonight in American Airlines Arena. Fresh off a record-setting night, Milwaukee is looking to capitalize off their second win of the season.

    When: 6:30 p.m. CT, December 30th

    Where: American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL

    Watch/Listen: NBATV, FOX Sports Wisconsin, 620 AM/ 103.3 FM WTMJ (Miami)

    About Last Night…

    Talk about an onslaught of offense! The Bucks ousted the Heat, 144-97, amassing an NBA record 29 made three’s, the most ever in a single game. This was also the largest road win in franchise history. Milwaukee jumped out to a 46-26 run to start the first quarter and did not look back. Led by Khris Middleton’s 25 points and Jrue Holiday’s best game as a Buck, the offense was literally firing on all cylinders despite an off night from Giannis Antetokounmpo (9 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds in 24 minutes).

    The Bucks had 12 different players make a 3 in the game.

    It's the first time a team has had 12 players with a 3 in a game in NBA history.

    Good Timing

    It is ironic that the Bucks had this type of night offensively just after an abysmal showing against the New York Knicks on Sunday. After shooting just 18% from three vs. NY and allowing 59% from beyond the arc, the script was flipped immediately. The Bucks shot an astounding 56% from three while only surrendering 29% to Miami. This is a welcoming sign for a team that has been highly criticized in the past for not being able to make adjustments game to game. 

    Looking Ahead

    The Bucks will be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. With Jimmy Butler’s status still up in the air, it could be another off-night for Miami. Something to watch for will be the production and consistency from Giannis Antetokounmpo. After a lackluster performance last night, expect Coach Bud to run the offense through him early to garner some confidence and rhythm.

    Prediction:

    The Bucks will go with the same thing that worked last night: shooting and spacing. How does the saying go? If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. 

    Bucks 120, Heat 108.
