Heat become 1st sub-.500 team to win 12 straight

The Miami Heat are literally going from zero to hero.

Miami dominated the Milwaukee Bucks by a score of 106-88 on the road to push their improbable winning streak to 12 games. That makes them the first losing team in NBA history to reach that feat.

The Heat's record sat at 11-30 midway through January. Since then, they conquered the Warriors, Hawks, and Rockets, among others, to become the hottest team in the league.

Hassan Whiteside led the way with 23 points and 16 rebounds in just 34 minutes. He made mincemeat of Milwaukee's revamped frontcourt as he shot 10-of-12 from the field.

Bench sparkplug James Johnson added 20 points, while three others chipped in with double-digit scoring in the win.

The sliding Bucks, meanwhile, simply couldn't generate any offense outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo - especially after Jabari Parker left the game with a knee injury.
