As for the Bucks, they will go back to the drawing board to see where things went wrong. Holding a good advantage with the home crowd rallying them on, they went ice cold in the fourth quarter. Giannis did his thing and put up MVP-like numbers compiling 34 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists. Brook Lopez added a further 17 points on 54% shooting for the night. Despite his 9 assists, a poor shooting night for Jrue Holiday did not help the matter as the Bucks desperately miss their All-Star guard, Khris Middleton.

This series will now head to Boston for a crucial Game 5. All eyes are surely going to be glued on this series as one team will solidify their advantage in this battle. Who do you think will come out on top? Let us know in the comments below.
