Milwaukee Bucks finished top of the Eastern Conference with 56 wins but it's not going well for them in this semi-final. The Bucks won their first round match 4-1 against the Orlando Magic and that earned them this best-of-seven series match against Miami Heat. They were the favourites to win and reach the conference final but it's all gone wrong for them in this series. The first three matches all went the way of Miami with only the second being a close affair. Milwaukee lost the first quarter of that match by nine points but went on to win the next three quarters. Not by enough though and they lost by two points.  The third match was a bizarre one with the Bucks winning the first three closely fought quarters and leading by 12 points. Amazingly though, Miami won the final quarter by a 27 point margin to run out 15 point winners and go 3-0 up. That means the Bucks have to win all four remaining matches to progress. They were three points down going into the final quarter but recovered to take the match into overtime and eventually get a win. Milwaukee still need to win three in a row though if they want to reach the final. Miami will be kicking themselves for letting slip that lead in the last match and will be all out to ensure they get the win that sees them in a conference final against either Boston Celtics or Toronto Raptors.
