Middleton breaks a tie with a jumper with 0.5 seconds left in overtime during the 109-107 victory.
"We rely a lot on our teammates, to get them the rock, as well," Butler said. "I don't think we can get away from that. But maybe we've got to impose our will a little bit more, be a little bit more aggressive."
Some of Milwaukee's new additions for this season — Jrue Holiday, Bryn Forbes and Bobby Portis in particular — played huge roles for the Bucks in their first-round sweep of the Heat.
The Bucks went 2-1 against the Nets during the regular season, but Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden didn't play together for Brooklyn during any of those games.
Point guard Jrue Holiday is playing for a legitimate title contender for the first time in his NBA career.
After earning the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, the Milwaukee Bucks are looking to avenge their loss to the Miami…
With another event preventing them from playing in Milwaukee, the Bucks opened their title chase with a 4-1 series win over the San Francisco Warriors, winning one game on the road and all three they played at the UW Field House.
