Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the visiting Miami Heat for good in the second quarter Sunday after sustaining a lower back contusion. With Antetokounmpo unavailable for much of the game, the top-seeded Bucks fell to the eighth-seeded Heat 130-117. 'There was an X-ray that was clear here,' Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said, 'so we'll monitor him, see how he does (Monday).' Game 2 of the series is Wednesday night in Milwaukee.
