Bucks eliminate Heat behind Redd's 50 in Double-OT.
Bucks (145) - Heat (138)

Jennings helped to force overtime, but fouled out in the end of the fourth.

Brandon Jennings led the Bucks in the fourth, Michael Redd led them in the first OT and Hakim Warrick and Kyle Korver dominated the 2nd overtime as the Bucks eliminated the Heat 145-138.

Brandon Jennings had 21 points and 9 assists and fouled out with 35 seconds to go in regulation, Michael Redd scored 50 points, 16 in the first OT period, but also fouled out as the Bucks needed a quick foul. That left Hakim Warrick and Kyle Korver with help from Andrew Bogut in charge and they were able to close out the game in the second OT.

The Heat had a 9-point lead with 12 minutes to go, but Brandon Jennings hit back-to-back threes to bring the game close. With both teams trading buckets throughout the fourth quarter, Brandon Jennings fouled out with 35 seconds to go, going for a steal. Dorell Wright, who finished with 36 points, scored some key buckets, including a 20-feet jumper over Luc Mbah a Moute with 26 tics left.

This put the Heat up by three and the Bucks called for a time-out. Kyle Korver came in, having sat for most of the second half, and hit a three to tie the game. The Heat went to Michael Beasley on the last possession. He missed and the game went to OT.

The Heat built a quick lead, led by Wright's career night and they were up by 7 with a minute to go. Then Redd went Redd-hot.He made 4 straight threes, while Mario Chalmers and Jermaine O'Neal hit free throws. With the Heat up by 3 and 12 seconds left, Redd fouled out as he intentionally fouled Chalmers. He missed both freebies and Kyle Korver tied the game again. The Hea ran a god play for Jermaine O'Neal, but his shot was blocked up by Bogut as the final horn sounded.

The Heat took control in the 2nd OT and didn't let go. Hakim Warrick had 8 points and Kyle Korver added 7. The Heat couldn't make the shots and were eliminated.

The Bucks will now move on to the Conference Finals to face the League-best Celtics.

[Bucket]

Huge game for Redd. 50 points
Good luck against Celtics.

[kibaxx7]

Great to see you on the East Finals bro! Good luck against the C's, you will need it.

[megarover]

Wow How much points are Redd and Jennings averaging in the playoffs? 40 and 30.

[Clutch]

man! that had to be exciting, especially with your two main guns out for the final OT... awesome that Warrick/Korver/Bogut came through and didn't choke - mighty Boston in the ECF? should be pretty epic

[dare]

Dorell Wright was a possessed or something, I wouldn't expect him to have 30+ points. Anyways nice win man, good luck against the Celtics.

[Clutch]

gee, where's the "weakest link" in that lineup? lol

Redd better have himself a MONSTER series - GL man!

[Fresh8]

Good luck against the C's!

Advance to play the Lakers in the Final!

[Lamrock]

Congrats on the series win. Loving your success. Here's to a Memphis-Milwaukee finals! (Make virtual Stern cry)






btw, I'm stealing those series results tables

[kibaxx7]

Bill Walker starting? Luis Scola? Superb

[Valor]

Here's to a Memphis-Milwaukee finals! (Make virtual Stern cry)

The Ratings for that would probably be lower than the 07 finals...

[Martti.]

I played game #1, but didn't save the stats. I have the pics, game recap and the final score, but no more stats.

I'll see what I'll do about the update, but I have a big national exam on Tuesday, so the next days are all studying for me.

Stay tuned though.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Memphis-Milwaukee would be funny, Stern would fine/ban/remove them so LA and Boston could relive their rivalry. But right now my prediction is that at least one of them would make the Finals. <- No spoilers, I have played only one game.

[Fresh8]

Good luck with the national exam! Get number 1!!!

[Cartar]

Geography?

Haven't checked in for a while here, but good to see my team Memphis getting to the WCF, the only way we could beat them, if they would play me more.

[Martti.]

Cartar, yep. You doing it too?

[Cartar]

Nah, but some classmates are.

[Fresh8]

Hope you ace the exam, am waiting for Game 1 results!

[Bucket]

Good luck in exams. Waiting for a recap

[Martti.]

Sit, Valdis, thanks guys. Got 75.5% in the so-called pre-exam, but I hope to get at least 82% in the real exam.

[Martti.]

Exam done, game #1 soon but remember, I don't have player stats, except for Jennings' points.
