NBA: Milwaukee Bucks facing shock playoff exit, Houston Rockets race past LA Lakers

MIAMI - Jimmy Butler powered the Miami Heat to a 115-100 victory over Milwaukee on Friday that pushed the top-seeded Bucks to the brink of elimination in the NBA playoffs.

A near triple-double of 21 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists from the Bucks' reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo was simply not enough as the Heat remained unbeaten in the playoffs. Antetokounmpo said the Bucks could be the first if they take it not game-by-game but"play-by-play, possession, by possession.Bam Adebayo added 20 points and 16 rebounds for the Heat. Jae Crowder scored 17 points, Goran Dragic added 15 and Tyler Herro chipped in 13 off the bench.

"I think everybody knew, Jae was making that shot," said Butler, who was celebrating before the ball was through the net.
