Porter had 12 rebounds, eight assists and a layup with 11 seconds left in overtime for a 119-115 lead.

Bam Adebayo had 31 points, 12 rebounds and five assists for Miami, which got a season-high 24 from Alec Burks and 20 from Davion Mitchell.

The Bucks (43-34) clinched a playoff berth earlier Saturday when New York beat Atlanta, then moved past Detroit — which lost to Memphis — into the No. 5 spot in the Eastern Conference.

Miami (35-43) fell a half-game behind Chicago in the race for No. 9 in the East. The Heat are 1 1/2 games behind No. 8 Atlanta and three games behind No. 7 Orlando.

The Heat played without Tyler Herro (right thigh), Andrew Wiggins (right hamstring) and Kevin Love (personal reasons).

Takeaways Bucks: Antetokounmpo gifted Bucks coach Doc Rivers the game ball from his 35-point, 17-rebound, 20-assist game against Philadelphia on Thursday — a reward for Rivers passing Phil Jackson for No. 7 on the all-time wins list. “He doesn't know he's getting the ball back,” Rivers said.

Heat: Miami coach Erik Spoelstra raved about managing general partner Micky Arison's selection into the Basketball Hall of Fame. “He’s been a blessing to South Florida sports,” Spoelstra said. “We’ve been able to put basketball on the map in South Florida in previously what was a football city."

Key moment Porter Jr.'s layup was immediately followed by a Heat turnover, and that was it.

Key stat The Heat never trailed by more than eight on Thursday against Memphis and their biggest deficit Saturday was seven points. They went 0-2 in those games.

Up next The Bucks visit New Orleans on Sunday. The Heat host Philadelphia on Monday.
