Heat-Bucks Preview

After sorely missing Dwyane Wade's presence while their lengthy win streak ended, the Miami Heat are hoping he can help them bounce back when they face a pesky opponent.

In Wade's return from suspension Saturday night, the Heat will hit the road and try to get past a Milwaukee Bucks team that took them into overtime earlier this season.

Wade was forced to sit out one game for making contact with Ramon Sessions' groin in a victory at Charlotte on Wednesday. Without him, the Heat's six-game winning streak was snapped with a 109-99 defeat at Detroit on Friday.

Miami (20-7) made its displeasure with the suspension known before the loss to the Pistons, but Wade was ready to get past the incident after saying in a tweet Thursday that he was not a dirty player.

"With the whole video, it could be taken any kind of way," he said during the team's shootaround Friday. "Like I said, I've made my statement and I'm looking forward to moving on and getting ready for (Saturday) night."

The Heat guard played a key part in a 113-106 overtime win over Milwaukee in Miami on Nov. 21, matching LeBron James with a team-high 28 points. Chris Bosh also had 24 and 18 rebounds, his most boards in a game over his three seasons with the Heat.

Wade, a former star at Marquette, had 22 points in his most recent visit to the Bradley Center, a 114-96 victory Feb. 13, and James had 35 on 16-of-21 shooting while helping his team end a three-game losing streak to the Bucks.

James is averaging 34.3 points on 62.1 percent shooting in his last three games against Milwaukee and finished two assists shy of a triple-double in the November matchup.

James also had 35 points in Friday's game - he has at least 20 in all 27 contests this season - but Bosh was the only other Miami player in double figures with 28.

"(Wade's absence is) no excuse. We still had enough," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Obviously, we're a different team with Dwyane, but we have enough depth that we should be able to overcome missing one guy for a night."

The Bucks (15-12) have alternated wins and losses over their last seven contests, a trend they'll be looking to stop after beating Brooklyn 108-93 on Wednesday.

Brandon Jennings had a team-best 25 points after being held to seven in a loss to Cleveland last Saturday, while Monta Ellis added 20. The duo combined to hit 6 of 7 from 3-point range.

"We just have to try to have some carryover and look forward to doing better things when we play Miami," swingman Marquis Daniels said. "We played them close down there. We just have to learn to finish out games better."

Ellis is averaging 28.0 points over his last three games while making half of his 62 shots. The Milwaukee guard, though, was held to nine points on 4-of-16 shooting in the loss at Miami.

Even with Wade back, Bucks too much for Heat

Posted Dec 30 2012 12:20AM

MILWAUKEE (AP) Dwyane Wade's return to the lineup wasn't nearly enough for Miami.

Brandon Jennings scored 25 points and Mike Dunleavy had 13 of his 18 in the fourth quarter as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Heat 104-85 on Saturday night.

Wade was back after serving a one-game suspension for flailing his leg and making contact with guard Ramon Sessions' groin during the Heat's 105-92 victory over Charlotte on Wednesday. Wade sat out Miami's 109-99 loss to Detroit on Friday night, which snapped the Heat's six-game winning streak.

"Obviously, the last 48 hours has not gone the way we wanted it to," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We don't want to make any excuses about it. Milwaukee kicked our butt. They were the better team tonight. We will gather ourselves, get to Orlando and start to work on it."

Wade had 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting, four assists, six rebounds and three turnovers. LeBron James scored 26 as Miami failed to reach 100 points for just the third time in 28 games.

"It's going to take time," Wade said. "We go through this every year. It's a part of the journey. You have to have these moments throughout the season. To win later in the year, you have something to pull from."

The Bucks improved to 16-12, their best 28-game start since opening the 2005-06 season 17-11. Miami (20-8) fell to 6-6 on the road.

Wade said the Heat would love to be undefeated on the road, but that isn't going to happen.

"In the bigger picture, you have to go through these tough moments and have to figure it out as a team," he said. "That's what we're doing right now."

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute scored 19 points for the Bucks, and Larry Sanders had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. Monta Ellis added 14 points as Milwaukee avenged a 113-106 overtime loss to the Heat in Miami on Nov. 21.

Dunleavy also had nine rebounds, six assists and three steals for the Bucks, who outscored Miami 35-14 in the fourth.

After Jennings hit a 3-pointer, Miami called a timeout and removed Wade, James and Chris Bosh with the Bucks ahead 100-79 with 3:13 to play. That was Milwaukee's biggest lead and it didn't slip below 17 the rest of the way.

Bosh had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Heat, who came in averaging 103.4 points a game while the Bucks were at 95.6.

It got chippy late in the game with Milwaukee pulling away.

After Wade turned the ball over, Jennings picked it up and raced down the court. Mario Chalmers, trailing the play, caught up with Jennings and then slowed him down by wrapping his right arm around Jennings' neck. As momentum carried Chalmers toward the baseline, Jennings followed after him, glaring all the way.

Chalmers was called for a flagrant foul. Jennings made both free throws and Milwaukee retained the ball. Moments later, Mbah a Moute scored and the Bucks led 92-76.

The Bucks regained their shooting touch and the lead with a 16-0 spurt that bridged the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth. Mbah a Moute capped the surge with a 3 that gave Milwaukee an 84-75 lead. When Sanders dunked and then spun around James on the baseline for a layup, Milwaukee led 88-76 with 6:03 left.

Miami's defense limited the Bucks' shooting percentage, but turnovers were too much to overcome.

"They shot 40 percent from the floor, but we turned the ball over 20-plus times and they got over 20-plus points off those turnovers," James said. "That's not going to be winning basketball."

James had a team-high six turnovers out of the 21 that led to 25 points for Milwaukee. The Heat shot 43.3 percent (33 of 76).

"I had six turnovers and I can't stand when I turn the ball over," James said. "When you're on the road against a team that is sound defensively, you can't give them extra possessions because they're going to make you pay."

James led the way as Miami erased a 15-point deficit, outscoring the Bucks 27-13 in the third to take a 71-69 lead into the fourth. James scored 14 points in that quarter while Milwaukee missed 17 of its first 19 shots.

"The second half we came out a little stagnant," Dunleavy said. "We stopped pushing the ball and getting out in transition."

Fortunately for the Bucks, they got going late in the third and kept it up all through the fourth.

"A few minutes to go in the third, we were moving the ball up and down, getting some stops," Dunleavy said. "Just kept going, building on the lead."

After leading 56-44 at halftime, Milwaukee missed its first 12 shots in the second half, six of them by Ellis, while the Heat pulled to 56-55. Jennings hit a 14-foot jumper to snap the streak, but James hit a 3 to tie the game and a jumper that gave Miami its first lead, 60-58.

"Then we came out to start the third and missed a couple layups and some shots, but also just kind of started walking up and down the floor," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "That's really not our game."

Jennings had 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting, six assists and three steals in the first half.

NOTES: Miami F Udonis Haslem missed the game. He hurt his right shoulder early in the Detroit game when he landed hard after an acrobatic block on Kyle Singler. Haslem stayed in the game and finished with seven points and two rebounds in 20:29. Shane Battier started in his place. ... Wade tied Haslem for the Heat record with 620 games played. ... Milwaukee came in having alternated between wins and losses over the last seven games. ... It was the Bucks' first sellout of the season.

Notebook: Bucks 104, Heat 85

Rick Braun, for NBA.com
Posted Sun Dec 30, 2012 12:19 AM - Updated Sun Dec 30, 2012 12:19 AM

THE FACTS: Brandon Jennings scored 25 points and added seven assists and four steals, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute added 19 points and a strong defensive job on LeBron James to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a rousing 104-85 victory over the Miami Heat Saturday night at the Bradley Center.

Mike Dunleavy had 18 points off the bench, Larry Sanders had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots and Monta Ellis had 14 points, nine assists and five steals as the Bucks (16-12) survived a huge Miami third quarter.

James led the Heat (20-8) with 26, and Dwyane Wade added 24, but the two Miami stars also had nine turnovers -- more than Milwaukee's team total of six.

QUOTABLE: "It was good resiliency on our part. To get down like we did in the second half after building a lead and then to be able to bounce back and make that run the last 15 minutes of the game was good. Hopefully we can build on that."
-- Mike Dunleavy on the Bucks' rally after being outscored 27-6 to open the second half

THE STAT: The Bucks' three-guard rotation of Jennings, Ellis and Beno Udrih combined for 20 assists and just one turnover. Every coach in America would take those numbers. As a team, the Bucks had 29 assists and just six turnovers.

TURNING POINT: Miami opened the third quarter with a 27-6 run that turned a 12-point deficit into a 71-62 lead. From there the Bucks outscored the Heat, 33-5 for a 95-76 lead. During Miami's run, the Bucks made 3-for-24. They followed that by making 13 of their next 18. Beginning with the last seven points of the third quarter, the Bucks outscored Miami 42-14 over the final 14:22.

QUOTABLE II: "It's a big win for us to get a win like this. We've got to enjoy this one and continue to go at it. We haven't been playing great at home. We needed to win a couple of games in a row at home. It was good to win a game like this against the defending champs."
-- Luc Richard Mbah a Moute

HOT: Sanders finished 8-for-11 from the field, with four of his baskets coming in the big run early in the fourth quarter.

NOT: While James and Wade combined to go 21-for-39, the rest of the Heat players were just 12-for-37. Miami's other three starters (Shane Battier, Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers) went 7-for-23.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: For the second straight game, Ellis has added big steal (five) and assist (three) numbers to go with his scoring.

GOOD MOVE: Bucks coach Scott Skiles removed Sanders from the game during a horrible third quarter and chewed him out. Sanders took the words to heart and had eight points, five rebounds and two blocks in nine fourth-quarter minutes.

BAD MOVE: Mario Chalmers delivered a running head-lock on Jennings in the open court with 5:45 left, earning a Flagrant-1 foul that led to four Milwaukee points.

NOTABLE: The league learned Saturday that former NBA player Jerome Whitehead had died in San Diego last week at the age of 56. Whitehead, who played 11 NBA seasons, was a teammate with Bucks assistant coach Jim Boylan on the 1977 Marquette University team that won the NCAA championship. "Jerome was a great guy," Boylan said. "He had a great spirit about him. He was a quiet, gentle giant, but his play on the court was anything but. He was a man's man inside." ... Miami forward Udonis Haslem missed the game with a shoulder injury suffered in a collision with a sideline photographer in Detroit Friday night. ... The Heat entered the fourth quarter with a lead and lost for the first time this season. Miami led, 71-69, after three and was 15-0 with leads entering the fourth quarter. ... The Bucks moved into a virtual tie for the Central Division lead with Chicago and Indiana. ... The sellout crowd of 18,717 was the Bucks' first of the season.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Monday @ Orlando, Wednesday vs. Dallas, Friday vs. Chicago. For the Bucks, Sunday @ Detroit, Wednesday vs. San Antonio, Friday vs. Houston.
