After being snowbound in New Orleans, the Bucks got to Milwaukee on Thursday about 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.

The Milwaukee Bucks began their game Thursday against the Miami Heat colder than the winter air outside Fiserv Forum. They missed 11 of their first 12 shots on the way to falling behind 20-5 to the shorthanded Heat.
