Bucks come back from 20 for the second time in their history

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Despite trailing by 20 points (62-42) at halftime, the Milwaukee Bucks ultimately beat the Miami Heat on the road (113-98) and remain the team with the best record the NBA.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re down 20, 15, 10,” said Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 33 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists. “We’re going to keep playing hard. It’s a process. You’ve got to win games like this. You’ve got to face adversity when you’re playing on the road. In the playoffs, it’s not going to be easy. We want to be a great team and that’s why we keep playing hard.”

The Bucks were 1-100 all-time – 0-77 on the road – when trailing by 20 or more at the half. They trailed 72-52 at the half against the New York Knicks on Feb. 18, 1977, and won 124-123.
