As for the Heat, they dropped to 21-22 in 43 games, which has them as the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference. Man, Damian Lillard is getting good at throwing that alley-oop to Giannis ...

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 39 points and 12 rebounds for the Bucks, who had won nine of their last 11 but were playing their third game in four nights.
