After Giannis Antetokounmpo leaves with ankle injury, Bucks hold off Heat to avoid sweep

Posted on September 6, 2020September 6, 2020 by Santiago Leon

Giannis Antetokounmpo missed most of the final three quarters after re-injuring his right ankle, but the Bucks pulled out a gutsy overtime win.

Yet, the Bucks relied on the competitiveness and character that coach Mike Budenholzer has mentioned frequently during this series and defeated the Heat 118-115 in overtime in Game 4 on Sunday, avoiding elimination.

All-Star Khris Middleton extended Milwaukee’s season with a game-high 36 points, and his 3-pointer with 6.3 seconds left put the Bucks ahead 116-112. Miami guard Tyler Herro’s 3-pointer cut it to 116-15 with three seconds to go in OT, but Middleton’s two foul shots made it a three-point game, accounting for the final score.

Milwaukee guard Donte DiVincenzo’s made a free throw with 1.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter forced overtime at 107-107, and the Bucks outscored the Heat in OT.
