MIAMI -- There was no yelling and screaming in the Milwaukee locker room at halftime.

A little bit of film got reviewed, a couple of adjustments got discussed and the Bucks believed a 20-point deficit could be overcome.

They were right.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 33 points and finished an assist shy of a triple-double, and the Bucks tied a franchise record for second-half comebacks on the way to beating the Miami Heat 113-98 on Friday night.

"It doesn't matter if you're down 20, 15, 10,'' said Antetokounmpo, who also had 16 rebounds and 9 assists. "We're going to keep playing hard. It's a process. You've got to win games like this. You've got to face adversity when you're playing on the road. In the playoffs, it's not going to be easy. We want to be a great team, and that's why we keep playing hard.''

The Bucks were 1-100 all time -- 0-77 on the road -- when trailing by 20 or more at the half. They trailed 72-52 at the half against the New York Knicks on Feb. 18, 1977, and won 124-123.

On Friday, it was Heat 62, Bucks 42 at the half.

From there, Bucks 71, Heat 36. Milwaukee also became the first team in NBA history to trail by at least 20 at the break and wind up winning by at least 15 points.

"We lost our energy in the second half,'' said Justise Winslow, who led Miami with 20 points -- all before intermission.

The Heat's lead over Orlando and Charlotte for the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference was trimmed to just one game.

Hassan Whiteside had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat, Josh Richardson scored 11 points and Dwyane Wade was one of four players with 10 for Miami. Wade bruised his right hip on a hard fall late in the third quarter.
