How to watch NBA Playoffs: What channel is Heat vs. Bucks Game 3 on?
Here is how to watch Game 3 between the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks.
The Miami Heat are in trouble. After a close Game 1, the Milwaukee Bucks completely rolled over Miami in a dominating 132-98 victory.
Now the series heads to Miami starting Thursday and the Heat need to avoid that dreaded 3-0 series deficit. Jimmy Butler will be in focus after he only scored 10 points in the Game 2 loss. There is no hope in Miami if Butler only takes 10 shots from the field once again.
Bucks vs. Heat: Here is how to watch Game 3
Date: Thursday, May 27
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Location: Miami, Florida
Venue: AmericanAirlines Arena
TV Info: TNT
Live Stream: fuboTV
The action gets underway at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be seen on TNT. That means plenty of pre-game antics from the TNT crew leading up to the crucial game.
The obvious key for the Heat in Game 3 is to avoid another disastrous start. The Bucks took a 46-20 lead after one quarter in Game 2 and the rest of the night was simply spent going through the motions.
Not one single Heat player reached the 20-point total while Giannis Antetokounmpo had his way with 31 points in 31 minutes.
The Bucks are the favorites, but the Heat are still the defending conference champions. If Butler is as good as he says he is, Game 3 will see him go off. Yet the biggest focus here will be defense. No one player can save his team if the opposing team can score at will every single possession.
These are two teams who have legitimate title hopes. A collapse in the series for Milwaukee could lead to some major changes this offseason, specifically at head coach. A series loss for Miami could also lead to some changes, making Game 3 a potential turning point for both franchises moving forward.
