Basketball: Heat oust Bucks and powerless Giannis

Giannis Antetokounmpo could only watch as the Milwaukee Bucks crashed out of the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday, defeated 103-98 by Miami Heat in Game 5. The Eastern Conference top seeds were without the reigning MVP after the 'Greek Freak' sustained an ankle injury on Sunday, but started strong building a lead as big as 13 points in the first quarter. But Miami siezed control of the game midway through the seconds period, going on a 13-2 run before racking up another unanswered eight points with less than five minutes remaining in the half. It was all Heat from there, with six of their players registering 12 or more points - Jimmy Butler adding 10 rebounds for a double-double, while Khris Middleton led all-scorers in 23. Miami now await the winner of the Boston Celtics and defending champions Toronto Raptors with their series currently poised with the Celtics leading 3-2 going into today's Game 6.
