Kevin Love had one of the best games since joining the Heat in February as he scored 18 points and grabbed 8 rebounds against the Bucks.
The Heat took a 1-0 lead in the first round series against the best regular season team. After the game Love talked about the importance of this win.
“Feels great to get this first one on the road,” the 2016 NBA champion said. “They say a series doesn’t start until the away team wins. This is amazing. Everybody contributed.
“Obviously, Tyler [Herro] went down, we hate to see that. Multiple guys stepped up in different ways. You saw it on the statsheet. There’s going to be a lot of things that we’re going to see on film that don’t necessarily show up in there.
“But again, everybody contributed, everybody stepped up, played their minutes hard and here’s a lot of X factors, a lot of difference makers tonight. So it was beautiful to see.”
