PODCAST and Bucks Stock Market: Milwaukee stuns the Heat

Jrue Holiday sealed the deal on an epic Bucks comeback win after some staunch team defense late in the fourth quarter.

Despite giving up a torrent of threes, the Milwaukee Bucks outlasted the Miami Heat and stunned them in Milwaukee, winning on a Jrue Holiday last-second layup despite going down by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter.

The comeback win was so energizing that we hopped on an emergency pod to celebrate and break down several aspects of Milwaukee's matchup with the Heat, including Miami's limited offense and Giannis Antetokounmpo's best game in a while against that Heat defense.

The Bucks Stock Market report for the game is just below, but for more thoughts on the game, check out the full podcast.

Jrue Holiday📈

How can you not be impressed with his performance? Not only did Holiday set the tone on the defensive end, but he came through with the game on the line and set the Milwaukee Bucks to victory via a bully-ball layup with 1.9 seconds remaining. He took advantage of Miami’s guards in the post with strength and finesse, and ended with a stat line of 25 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. What a night.

The gauntlet continues for the Milwaukee Bucks as their next game is against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Friday, March 4th at 7:00pm central.
