Last season runner-ups might be out of the playoffs this season after just one round as Bucks have a field day beating them in Game 3 to take a 3-0 lead in the series. Milwaukee Bucks crushed Miami Heat 113-84 in the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. Khris Middleton scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists to help Bucks secure a lead. As Heat failed to perform and hold back Bucks they might end their season early this time.
On the other hand, Nuggets made a comeback to win against Blazers in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the series with Ryan Blackburn leading them to an incredible win with 120-115 for Denver Nuggets. Austin Rivers had 21 points with the help of some big, big shots. Nikola Jokić remained his usual dominant self and was complemented by, Aaron Gordon and Facu Campazzo who helped the team win.
