The Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat will match up in the second round of the NBA Playoffs with the winner advancing to the conference finals.
The winner of the matchup will face the winner between the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics.

The Bucks set a trend in the final week of the series by staging a strike in order to draw awareness to police brutality. The team's actions led to the NBA coming to an agreement with players on engaging in social initiatives.
