In Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the top-seeded Bucks, the Miami Heat defeated them 128-126 in overtime thanks to 42 points by Jimmy Butler and two consecutive surprising fourth-quarter rallies. The Heat staged another impressive comeback and knotted the game on Butler's layup with half a second left in regulation, two nights after outscoring the Bucks 30-13 in the final six minutes of a 119-115 victory in Miami.
With 4:44 remaining in overtime, Bam Adebayo scored a putback on Butler's failed driving layup attempt to give the Heat a permanent lead. Grayson Allen drove to the basket with the Bucks down 128-126 with possession of the ball in the final seconds, but time ran out before he could attempt a shot. Adebayo had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Gabe Vincent added 22 points.
