Through three quarters, it looked as though the Milwaukee Bucks would live to play another day. The Miami Heat had something else to say about that. The Heat overcame a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to eliminate the No. 1 seed Bucks from the playoffs.
The contest shaped up to be a tight one in the first quarter, which ended with the Heat leading 36-33. The Bucks made adjustments in the second quarter, and took a 6-point lead into halftime. That momentum carried over into the third quarter, where the Bucks broke things open to make it a 16-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
After a string of missed shots by Bucks big man Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Heat continued to claw their way back into the game. With 4:39 left to go in the fourth quarter, Jimmy Butler came alive. He drained his next two shots to cut the lead to 5 points. Wesley Matthews threatened to put things out of reach with a 3-pointer to give the Bucks an 8-point lead with 3:18 to go, but Butler hit his next three shots to tie the game at 111-111.
Facing impossible odds, Gabe Vincent hit a 3-pointer with 8.4 seconds left to make it a 1-point game. Holiday was quickly fouled, but only made one free throw. With just 2.1 seconds to play, the Heat lobbed the ball to Butler under the basket. As he was falling to the floor, Butler put up the game-tying shot to send the game to overtime.
