MIAMI -- For the first time in their last 10 regular season meetings, the Milwaukee Bucks finally got the better of the Miami Heat, scoring a 91-84 victory on Sunday at the American Airlines Arena.
Point guard Brandon Knight carried the young Bucks to victory with 20 points, five rebounds and four assists. He sank three 3-point shots in the final three minutes of action to hold the rallying Heat at bay.
Jabari Parker turned in a healthy 13-point, 6-rebound effort while Larry Sanders, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zaza Pachulia each finished with 11 points for the Bucks, who missed 10 of 26 free throws but made 35 of 74 field goals.
Mario Chalmers led Miami with 18 while Shawne Williams added 13. Norris Cole pitched in 11 but Chris Bosh settled for just 10 after missing 15 of 17 field goals. Dwyane Wade did not play (hamstring) for the second straight game.
The Heat dropped their third straight and a disappointed head coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters "We have to figure it out.". (RD)
