"I'm happy the whole team really showed up," Plumlee said. "We played with a lot of energy. We played together and played the right way."

Milwaukee ended the first half with a 57-54 lead, and started strong in the early minutes of the third period. The Bucks managed to build an eight-point lead 72-64 with 6:00 minutes remaining, but the Heat made an 8-0 run to tie the game at 72 all and took the lead 85-80 going in to the final quarter of the game.

In the fourth quarter,  the Bucks scored 34 points and limited the Heat to just 23 points with Middleton converting four free shots from the foul line in the dying seconds to help the Bucks secure the victory.

The Heat had not lost since signing the seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson as a free agent on Feb. 27. The big lift he had given Miami did not materialize against Milwaukee.  The fourteen-year veteran finished the game with 11 points.

Hassan Whiteside had another double-double game night with team-high 23 points and 13 boards, along with 3 blocked shots. Luol Deng had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat, who have lost four of their last ten games.

Dwyane Wade finished the night with 18 points, 6 assists and 2 steals in 33:55 minutes of playing time.

"I felt we didn't play our best game," Wade, who went 6 for 14 from the field and commit 6 turnovers, said. "We took a lead and had control of the game. Then, it just went another way after that."
