The World Champion Miami Heat take on the Milwaukee Bucks who were granted the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. Join us for the 2013 NBA Playoff game as we bring you live scoring updates with play-by-play, commentary and stats from this game.
The Heat are the overwhelming favorite in this matchup as they face the weakest opponent to advance to the playoffs in 2013. The Bucks made it to the playoffs with a 38-44 record. While the Heat had the best record in the league as they wrapped up 2013 with a 66-16 locking up home court advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Heat are dynamic. They can shoot threes, beat you on the inside and if their starts have secured a victory, their bench can keep the lead as well. They are long after adding Chris Andersen, an aspect of their game many thought would keep them from winning the championship in 2013, as the Heat continuously put a small lineup throughout the game last season's playoffs.
For the Bucks, it will be a battle for sure. They have Brandon Jennings and Monte Ellis, who are above average guards, but they have not gotten the success they expected when trading for Ellis last season.
LeBron James and the Heat will look to repeat as NBA Champions and this is the first game they have to win in order to make their third straight appearance in the NBA Finals.
