MIAMI -- Hassan Whiteside likes when teams challenge him inside.
Cheap China NFL
Jerseys .The reigning NBA blocks leader piled up seven to go with
12 points and 17 rebounds and the Miami Heat beat the Milwaukee Bucks 96-73 on
Thursday night to end a six-game losing streak.Theres two different types of
coaches and teams, Whiteside said. Theres coaches that say, `Hassan Whiteside is
down there, dont attack him. And then there are coaches that say, `Hassan
Whiteside is down there, lets attack him, God bless those teams. Long live those
teams. I need more of those teams.Dion Waiters led Miami with 23 points, and
Josh Richardson added 18. The losing streak was the Heats longest since 2008.Its
just another game, we cant get too happy about one win, Richardson said. Were
glad we won, but weve got to move on to the next game.Point guard Goran Dragic
returned for the Heat after missing three games with a sprained left ankle. He
had 16 points in 35 minutes.Rusty a little bit, Dragic said. I didnt feel quite
fast enough. The first half I struggled a little bit and then I finally got my
legs under me a little bit and in the second half I felt great.Giannis
Antetokounmpo and Tony Snell each had 14 points for Milwaukee. The Bucks shot
32.9 percent (28 of 85) from the field and have lost four of five.As a team we
struggled on the defensive end, Bucks head coach Jason Kidd said. We couldnt
guard the ball. We couldnt grab rebounds when we had to. We gave them second
opportunities. On the offensive end, we just lost our patience.Richardson hit a
corner 3, Whiteside blocked a layup attempt by Antetokounmpo, and Dragic hit a 3
in a flurry of big plays to give Miami an 80-69 lead with 7 minutes left.That
was a big sequence for us, Richardson said. Hassan, when he gets blocks like
that it energizes everybody and were running I think were a dangerous team.The
Heat held on the rest of the way, with a 3 by Waiters making it 88-73 with 3:31
left.Miami outscored Milwaukee 29-11 in the fourth quarter.The Bucks entered the
game leading the NBA in points in the paint, averaging 49.8 a game after leading
the league a year ago, but were held to 34 and just 10 in the second half.They
cover so much ground in particular G.A. and (Jabari) Parker, Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said. They really have a way of cutting and attacking, and catching
and going into the paint. You have to have guys who are willing to compete, be
physical, and do it with technique and discipline. And then when you get beat it
helps to have a great eraser back there (with Whiteside).Milwaukee jumped out to
a 20-6 lead, which included three impressive dunks by Parker, including taking
one around-the-back on a dribble to avoid Richardson, and holding the Heat to
3-for-18 shooting.Miami quickly bounced back as Tyler Johnsons 3 gave the Heat a
30-27 lead and the teams were knotted at 48 at the break.Josh Richardson hit a
pair of 3-pointers for the Heat during a 13-4 run in the third quarter to give
Miami a 65-54 lead.Miami led 67-62 to start the fourth quarter.Our best
basketball was in the second half, Spoelstra said.BUCKS STARS
STRUGGLEAntetokounmpo and Parker, who entered the game averaging over 41 points,
combined to score 25 on 10-of-35 shooting (28.6 percent).(Whiteside) did a good
job of contesting shots, but I go to the basket, and I didnt get nothing the
whole game, Parker said. I didnt get no calls.McGRUDER, COACHES RECEIVE
RINGSMiamis Rodney McGruder and assistant coaches Dan Craig and Octavio de la
Grana received their NBA D-League championship rings for winning the title last
season with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Miamis affiliate.Thats the same rock we
got, thats awesome, Spoelstra said in reference to the Heats three championship
rings. We all felt that we were a part of it.McGruder, a Kansas State product
who went undrafted in 2013, made his NBA debut this season and recently earned
his first start.UP NEXTMilwaukee will host Golden State on Saturday. The Bucks
handed the Warriors one of their nine regular-season losses last year ending
their 24-game winning streak to start the season.Miami begins a four-game,
seven-day trip Saturday at Washington.
