MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 125-96 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks: – As with so many things Heat these days, there was a game Thursday night . . . and plenty more. – Such as Bucks coach Doc Rivers offering his take on Jimmy Butler’s standoff with the Heat, asked pregame if he was surprised by how it is playing out, with Butler amid another suspension. – “I don’t know if I’m surprised or not,” Rivers said.
