Keys To The Game
1. Keep Giannis In Check: Miami will need to find a way to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo from getting into a motion for him to take over the game. Bam Adebayo will mostly be matched up with him and will have to find ways to keep him from getting hot.
2. Get Hot From Three: Miami shot 12 of 31 from the three-point arc against the Bulls. The Heat will need to find their shots from the arc and make those shots count down the stretch if they hope for a similar fate over the Bucks.
3. Attack The Glass: Miami had a total of 39 rebounds as a team against the Bulls. The Heat will need to box out and rebound as much as they can, as they are going up against the team that is well known for attacking the boards.
