Miami Heat Defeat Milwaukee Bucks In Overtime To Advance To Eastern Conference Semifinals

The Miami Heat face the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals after defeating Milwaukee Bucks

It wasn't quite the same magnitude of Ray Allen's corner three in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals but it sure had a similar feeling. 

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler forced overtime Wednesday with a layup off an alley-oop on the inbound pass with less than a second left. That was all the Heat needed. 

They outscored the Milwaukee Bucks in the extra session in a 128-126 victory in Game 5 to win the series 4-1. The Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals to face the New York Knicks. Game 1 of that series is Sunday. 

Butler once again turned in a masterpiece of a performance, finishing with 42 points, eight rebounds and four assists. The Bucks' season is over after entering the playoffs as the No. 1 overall seed. 

More on this game later.
