Bucks Overcome Travel Delays to Dominate Miami Heat 125-96
After being stranded in New Orleans for 60 hours due to a historic snowstorm, the Milwaukee Bucks rallied to secure their fifth consecutive win with standout performances from Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- The Bucks were stuck in New Orleans for three days after a historic snowstorm canceled their game against the Pelicans and disrupted travel plans.
- The team arrived in Milwaukee less than three hours before their game against the Heat, which was delayed by an hour to accommodate their late arrival.
- Despite a sluggish start and trailing by 15 points early, the Bucks dominated the rest of the game, led by Damian Lillard's near triple-double and Giannis Antetokounmpo's double-double.
- Bucks head coach Doc Rivers praised his team’s resilience and emphasized the importance of playing the game rather than rescheduling it, given an already packed schedule.
- The victory marked Milwaukee's fifth straight win, with the team now preparing for a four-game West Coast road trip starting Saturday against the Clippers.
