NBA playoffs: Heat overcome 16-point deficit in fourth quarter to stun No. 1 seed Bucks in overtime

Through three quarters, it looked as though the Milwaukee Bucks would live to play another day. The Miami Heat had something else to say about that. The Heat overcame a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to eliminate the No. 1 seed Bucks from the playoffs in a 128-126 overtime thriller.

The contest shaped up to be a tight one in the first quarter, which ended with the Heat leading 36-33. The Bucks made adjustments in the second quarter, and took a 6-point lead into halftime. That momentum carried over into the third quarter, where the Bucks broke things open to make it a 16-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter.

That game was fantastic.

Jimmy Butler had a world class game that was highlighted by an extremely smart play at the end of regulation when he shoved Connaughton with two hands to create enough space for a good look at a game tying shot. The officials almost never call something like that on a last second play.

NBA playoffs have been memorable so far this year.
