Bucks Top Heat 128-117, Porter Leads with 32

Kevin Porter Jr. scored a season-high 32 points and Bobby Portis and Ryan Rollins added 21 each as the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Miami Heat 128-117 on Tuesday night.

The Bucks won their fourth game in five, while the Heat saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Milwaukee held a 63-58 halftime advantage before the teams exchanged leads in the third quarter. Miami held a 93-89 lead heading into the final period, but the Bucks battled back. The back-and-forth battle continued throughout the quarter with Milwaukee taking a 118-116 lead when Porter sank a 3-pointer from the corner while drawing a foul. Back-to-back baskets by Rollins with just over one minute remaining sealed the victory.

Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his 12th consecutive game since straining his right calf on Jan. 23.
