Basketball: Miami in thrilling win to extend series lead over Bucks

A thrilling climax to the second game of the NBA's Eastern Conference semi-final between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat saw the latter win by two points to take a 2-0 series lead. With Heat legend, Dwyane Wade, watching on as a virtual spectator from the stands, Goran Dragic top-scored for them with 23 points in a nervy 116-114 win - but the drama all happened in the last 5 seconds. Down by three points with 4.3 seconds left, Khris Middleton was fouled in the act of shooting a game-tying attempt - the 29-year-old then displaying nerves of steel to sink all three and tie the scores at 114-all. Then with time expiring, Jimmy Butler just released a game-winning jump-shot attempt which missed - but he was also fouled by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Butler then drained both free-throws to win the game with no time left on the clock - just the third playoff game to ever end in that fashion. The Bucks are now the 12th team to trail 2-0 in a best-of-seven series after having the best record in the NBA during the regular season, the 11 previous teams all lost that series.
