Heat beat Milwaukee Bucks 128-126 after overtime and shocked the top seed in the NBA after eliminating them after 5 matches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a failure; it&#8217;s steps to success,&#8221; the Greek star claimed. &#8220;There are always steps to it. MJ played 15 seasons and won 6 titles. The other 9 seasons was a failure? That&#8217;s what you&#8217;re telling me?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an incorrect question; there&#8217;s no failure in sports. There are happy days, sad days. Sometimes you&#8217;re able to be successful, and sometimes you&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n<p>Some days it&#8217;s your chance; some days, it&#8217;s not yours. And that&#8217;s what sports is about. You don&#8217;t always get the victory. Sometimes other people win. And this season, somebody else will triumph, simple as that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee started the playoffs as the favorite to win it all after finishing with the best record in the regular season in the league. Still, it was defeated 4-1 in their matchup in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> round against Miami.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A Bucks season with championship aspirations came to a premature end on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>So was it a failure? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eric_nehm?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@eric_nehm<\/a> asked a passionate Giannis Antetokounmpo after the loss.<\/p>\n<p>? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBAonTNT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@NBAonTNT<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2XyQEmyBTx\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/2XyQEmyBTx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Athletic (@TheAthletic) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAthletic\/status\/1651569620145393665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 27, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo got angry at the press conference after his team was eliminated by Miami Heat in the East&#8217;s 1st round of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4225,"featured_media":434468,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[16728,16726,17837],"news_category":[16706,14084],"gn_keywords":[17843,17841,1067],"acf":{"announce":"The superstar of the Bucks declines to call the 1st round exit a failure.","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/434467"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4225"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/434467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434467"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=434467"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=434467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
