In almost no time Heat go from bad to worse in 125-96 loss to Lillard, Bucks

MIAMI – Two distinct varieties of drama were on display Thursday night at Fiserv Forum. For the Miami Heat, it was a stupor-like daze in the wake of yet another Jimmy Butler suspension, personified by the end of the first half in the 125-96 loss, the team’s fifth in their last six games. For the Milwaukee Bucks, it was playoff-level perseverance on a day they could not depart New Orleans until mid-afternoon as that city recovered from a freak winter storm. No single sequence better personified the difference in direction than the close of the first half, when Bucks guard Damian Lillard scored six points in the final 1.1 seconds of the second quarter. (Yes, you read that right.) With those 1.1 seconds remaining in the first half, Lillard was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Heat guard Duncan Robinson, converting all three free throws. Then, with Heat rookie center Kel’el Ware unable to inbound, the Bucks regained possession with those 1.1 seconds still remaining, enough for Lillard to beat the halftime buzzer with a 3-pointer. “That’s a teaching moment,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
