- STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Matt Young

MIAMI — Gabe Vincent scored 27 points, Bam Adebayo had 20 points and 13 rebounds and the Miami Heat beat the Milwaukee Bucks 111-95 on Saturday.

Victor Oladipo added 20 points and Jimmy Butler had 16 for the Heat. Miami won its second straight against the Bucks after a 108-102 home victory on Thursday.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokoun­mpo missed the two games against Miami because of left knee soreness.

The Heat also was short-handed as guards Tyler Herro (Achilles soreness) Kyle Lowry (knee discomfort) sat out.

Down eight at halftime, the Bucks cut it to 63-62 on Bobby Portis' two free throws midway through the third quarter. The Heat responded with six straight points.

Adebayo's two free throws with 7:13 in the fourth quarter capped a 13-0 run and pushed the Heat's lead to 97-79.

Portis scored 15 points, Pat Connaughto­n had 14 points and Brook Lopez finished with 13 for the Bucks, who finished 2-2 on their road trip.

Jeffries wins car on ‘Price is right’

Jared Jeffries was an NBA lottery pick who played 11 seasons in the league, so he may not need a new Toyota Corolla. It also seems unlikely that his 6-foot-11 frame would even fit the modestly sized car.

Neverthele­ss, Jeffries, who played 36 games for the Rockets in 2010 and 2011, ran around “The Price Is Right” stage like any other giddy contestant on the CBS game show when he won the new car on an episode that aired Monday.

Jeffries, who was in the audience wearing matching T-shirts that read “My money's on Team Showdown” along with his girlfriend Natalia and friend Gregory Bach, was one of the first contestant­s asked to “come on down,” and immediatel­y got pulled on stage when he came the closest to guessing the retail price of a couple

TAG Heuer watches.

Host Drew Carey never mentioned Jeffries' previous profession, only commenting, “You're still taller than I am,” when Jeffries bent down on one knee while playing the game “One Away.”
