The Milwaukee Bucks were without their MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo due to injury, and his absence was obvious as they were not able to overcome the red-hot Miami Heat who ended the Bucks run in the bubble. It was then LBJ picking up right where he left off as he lit up the box score with flashy scoring and sensational swats. The rest of the day’s highlights are rounded out with dynamic dunks and dimes alike.
Enjoy the best highlights from Tuesday’s NBA Playoff action all in one place:
LeBron James was competing on a whole different level in Game 3 as he claimed sole possession of the most playoff wins ever. He did so on a mesmerizing 29-point first half, being superman on defense, and showcasing a Magic-esque vision on the court

Serving as the Heat’s turning point, Dragic created space with a crafty veteran push-off and nailed a 15-footer to conclude the first period. Miami then went on to outscore Milwaukee 33-18 to be up half a dozen at intermission. To seal the deal, the Dragon drained a late-game jumper to send home the No. 1 seeded Bucks.

Harden didn’t take his beating lying down as he looked like his regular-season self on a near triple-double coupled with his patented step-back three-point shot to clock in a respectable 33 points.

Rajon Rondo has the reputation of a hard-nosed defender, but Rondo came alive and poured in his fair share of brilliant buckets on the offensive end as he was responsible for scoring or assisting on 23 of L.A.’s 30 fourth-quarter points.
👀 @RajonRondo (21 PTS, 9 AST) comes up huge, scoring 12 in the 4th to lift the @Lakers (2-1) in Game 3!

LBJ was blocking so many shots that it deserves its own category as he was spiking away layup attempts all night long to send a message that he wasn’t letting up anything easy inside.

Rondo was the ultimate playmaker on Tuesday setting up the athletic Anthony Davis with a pair of picturesque lobs to swing momentum in the Lakers’ direction and to put himself on the 1,000 playoff assist list.

The vaunted Bucks’ defense was torn apart Tuesday on plays just like this, except Tyler Herro decided to not even look in the direction of his wonderful bullseye pass that was put right into the mitts of Iguodala for the easy cup.
