Jimmy Butler scored 30 points before resting in the fourth quarter as the host Miami Heat beat the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Milwaukee Bucks 121-99 on Saturday to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series.
Reserve Duncan Robinson made five 3-pointers and scored 20 points on his 29th birthday for Miami, which led by as many as 29 and never trailed after taking control late in the first quarter.
Antetokounmpo missed his second straight game due to a lower back contusion that occurred in the Bucks' 130-117 loss on Sunday in Game 1 of the series. The two-time MVP is listed as day-to-day. The Heat shot 50 percent from the field and 12 of 19 from 3-point range in the first half. Miami's 12 made 3-pointers are the most in any half of a playoff game in franchise history.
