Former Marquette star Jimmy Butler scored 13 of his game-high 40 points as the Miami Heat pulled away from the Bucks Monday night 115-104.
A jumper by Khris Middleton had cut the lead to a single point when Butler dominated the final five minutes of the game.
Middleton led Milwaukee with 28 points and Brook Lopez tacked on 24, but the duo scored 40 of their 52 points in the first half.
Miami won the first game of the playoff series by making Giannis Antetokounmpo a non-factor, limiting him to 18 points.
Trailing one game to none, the Bucks will try to even it up against Miami Wednesday.
