Takeaways Heat: Herro, a Milwaukee native and winner of the NBA 3-point shooting competition during All-Star weekend, went just 1 of 5 from deep in the first half and finished 3 for 12.

Bucks: Lillard and Antetokounmpo, who were expected to be on playing-time restrictions due to injuries, played 38 and 32 minutes, respectively. Antetokounmpo played only 19 minutes Friday out of caution and because of foul trouble.
