But the Bucks are a different team this time. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been spectacular so far and has just had a blowout win against the Miami Heat, taking a 2-0 lead in the first-round series of the playoffs.

This only makes everyone a bigger fan of the superstar, whose scoring prowess was also visible throughout the game. Giannis ended the night with 31 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists. Following him was a surprising performance off the bench from Bryn Forbes with 22 points, and then there was Khris Middleton with 17 points.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Game 1 vs Game 2
Everything that the Milwaukee Bucks have done so far stems from their disappointing elimination against the Heat in the Orlando Bubble. And now that they have a chance at revenge, they are going for it.
However, the biggest difference between the two games is that the Bucks had to work much harder to get the victory in their first game. After a tight defense and big performances by Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, they managed a 109-107 victory.
But their second game seemed like a piece of cake. The Bucks had an impeccable head start, and the Heat were trailing throughout. In fact, the game ended with a 34 point deficit. It was game over at 132-98.

It doesn’t look like the sixth-seeded Miami has it in them to come back from this. The Bucks are clearly the favorites to leave this series as the winners. Do you think the Heat can cause an upset and surprise us all?
