The Miami Heat (26 - 21) withstood a close call Friday, edging the Milwaukee Bucks (20 - 29), 107 - 103. Miami remains without Hassan Whiteside (oblique), but the defensive anchor's absence has not stopped the Heat from winning three in a row. Once again, Dwyane Wade led the team's scoring effort. Wade stuffed the stat sheet for 24 points, four rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and three blocks. Wade, a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Stars, was complemented by veteran Chris Bosh, who went for 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists. As a team, Miami shot 50 percent from the field and hit seven three - pointers while holding Milwaukee to just two makes beyond the arc. For the Bucks, the loss marks their second straight and fourth in five games. Despite last year's playoff appearance, the team now sits at nine games below .500 and is well out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Even in the loss, rising star Giannis Antetokounmpo filled the box score with 28 points, four rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and three steals. The 21 - year - old has seen career - high averages across the board this season, his third year in the league. Miami will host the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday afternoon, while Milwaukee will travel to Sacramento on Monday night to face the Kings.
