With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined for the fourth-straight game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, it wasn't going to be an easy challenge for the Milwaukee Bucks. Going up against one of the hottest offenses in the NBA, the Bucks were going to not only need to defend but score enough to stay close with a team they've seen in the postseason many times before.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for the Bucks to walk away with a win, as they kept it close, but the Heat took the 106-103 win at home. Led by Tyler Herro's 29 points and seven assists, Ryan Rollins did his best with a 26-point, seven-rebound performance as Milwaukee dropped its 11th game.

Doc Rivers Voices Frustration

After the game, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers voiced his frustrations about the calls during the game and the lack of free throws his team had.

"Listen, we're not getting them, and it's up to us to earn them and go get them," Rivers said. "I thought Myles, you know, it's so funny how soft they call the away from the ball plays with Herro, and they have Bobby and Myles getting murdered down there, and there's never a call."

The Heat were called for 10 personal fouls on Wednesday night, in comparison to the Bucks' 15. In addition, Miami shot 20 free throws compared to Milwaukee's 14. As for Myles Turner and Bobby Portis, they combined for 10 free throw attempts, so a majority of the team's attempts at the line.

"You can't tell me half of Myles' drives where we had him posted, there was contact all over the place, you know. But we're not getting that, we're not asking for it. We just wanted to be called the same," Rivers added.

Entering Wednesday's contest, the Bucks ranked second-worst in the NBA in free-throw attempts per game, with only the Boston Celtics being worse than them. With the Celtics without their star in Jayson Tatum and Giannis missing time this season, it's not a huge surprise to see those two teams near the bottom.

However, as Rivers seemed to have acknowledged, the Bucks aren't suddenly going to start getting calls they weren't in the past. The only way to get the calls is to be aggressive, and hope that the officials call what needs to be called.

Looking ahead for the Bucks, they'll be back in action on Friday as they travel to face the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. EST.
