The Miami Heat defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 119 to 86 in the first Las Vegas Summer League game of the tournament. The Bucks looked overwhelmed outside of number 10 overall rookie Brayden Burries. Nate Ament struggled but you saw flashes of shooting potential. Burries led the Bucks in scoring with18 points, chipped in 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Pete Nance had a strong showing as well, posting an impressive 16 points, 7 rebounds and swatting two shots. The only other player to excel was Kasparas Jakucionis and he had his fair share of struggles against his former team.

Brandon Boston JrBrandon Boston long and athletic Doesn't turn down shotsI expected more from a older player 4th year in the leagueThe Milwaukee Bucks squad may need some time to gel since these players have never played together before but the overall theme of this team is that they all need to get stronger. They played will at times but were just out muscled the whole game. They lost the battle of paint points, second chance points and fast break points to a much more physically imposing heat squad. They are going to have to shoot much better if they want to win games in this league. The Bucks shot a paltry 30.6% from deep. If you aren't strong, you better be skilled and fast. Kasparas did his part shooting 66.7 from downtown. Pete Nance did also shooting 50%. Nate Ament is going to have to raise his game and do so in a hurry.
