After being snowbound in New Orleans for three days, the Bucks arrived a little more than two hours before game time and then routed Miami.

After being grounded in New Orleans all week by a historic winter storm and arriving in Milwaukee a little more than two hours before tipoff Thursday, the Bucks won their fifth straight game in convincing fashion.

Milwaukee’s scheduled game against the Miami Heat on Thursday was pushed back an hour due to the Bucks’ difficulties arriving from snowy weather in New Orleans. The NBA announced at 4:05 p.m. Central time — less than two hours before the game’s scheduled start — that it would begin at 7:30 p.

Giannis Antetokounmpo can't make free throws again and Khris Middleton is thriving off the bench, complicating the Bucks trade deadline plans.
