After Lebron James publicly said the Miami Heat’s defense was playing like sh*t, you knew they would step up at home against the Milwaukee Bucks. While it was a game they were expected to win anyways the Heat showed why they are the defending champions.
As Mario Chalmers brings the ball up late in the second quarter, the Bucks were technically back defensively. Khris Middleton was in a fairly typical defensive stance, but with his legs spread a bit wider than normal, the opening provided the perfect passing lane for Chalmers to get the ball to James, who was able to convert the and-1 finish.
