as.comPosted at: 21:55EDT11/05/2022

As for the Celtics, they did most things right tonight, with the exception of second half turnovers. They must get that under control if they are to stay in this race.

as.comPosted at: 21:53EDT11/05/2022

They may be able to get through the Celtics, but then what? They would need to face the Heat or 76ers and then likely the Suns. With the beating that Giannis is taking in these playoffs, Milwaukee have to get other players involved in the scoring. They have shown that they are capable of scoring, now let them do it.

as.comPosted at: 21:52EDT11/05/2022

While Giannis had 40 points tonight, the real key element to their victory was getting points out of the supporting cast. Holiday finished on 24, while Portis and Connaughton had 14 and 13 respectively. All of those were in the second half, and without their contribution, the Bucks couldn't have done it.

as.comPosted at: 20:08EDT11/05/2022

So far, it really seems as if the Celtics are asking all the questions and the Bucks have only one answer. They seem incapable of thinking of anything other than getting the ball to Giannis. That is a terrible game plan, no matter how good he is, no man can keep pace with a group of five solid goalscorers.

as.comPosted at: 20:05EDT11/05/2022

Smart hits his first three and Giannis misses another one with a wedgie. They jump it at center court and the Bucks get it back. Why is Giannis continuing to take these threes?

as.comPosted at: 19:48EDT11/05/2022

If the Bucks don't figure out a way to get someone other than Giannis into the scoring, they are in for a long evening. Somebody needs to tell him to stop trying to hit threes as well.

as.comPosted at: 19:46EDT11/05/2022

They have quietly pulled out in front now, stretching their lead to five, 32-37 and Milwaukee takes a timeout.

With a steal and a three, Boston have now taken the lead for the first time, 32-33

as.comPosted at: 19:41EDT11/05/2022

Boston's defense has looked the stronger of the two teams. With Giannis carrying the lion's share of Milwaukee shooting, the Celtics are keeping pace with him. You feel that at some point, the team effort of Boston will pull them out front as Giannis simply won't be able to keep up.

as.comPosted at: 19:41EDT11/05/2022

We get underway and Giannis scores for the Bucks. Tatum takes it back up the other end and draws the foul. He sinks both shots and we keep our two point gap.

as.comPosted at: 19:30EDT11/05/2022

Great pick by Tatum! He lays it in up the other end. They have now hit six unanswered.

as.comPosted at: 19:29EDT11/05/2022

With Brown on the floor after losing his footing, Marcus Smart called for the timeout. Bad move. The timeout is more valuable than possession at this point.

Boston calls another timeout at 19-14

as.comPosted at: 19:26EDT11/05/2022

as.comPosted at: 19:25EDT11/05/2022

Both teams are going for threes, mainly with nothing to show for it. Even Giannis is getting in on the act although he is on 2 for 17 from that range.

as.comPosted at: 19:22EDT11/05/2022

A nice bit of passing by the Celtics, multiple players had a chance to take the shot, everyone got a touch, eventully getting the ball into Horford's hands for an easy layup.

Jaylen Brown gets a baseline drive and dunk to bring the crowd to life! It is now 11-10

as.comPosted at: 19:15EDT11/05/2022

We have our first foul on Williams for Boston. This is something that both teams will need to keep a rein on in this match, with the fourth quarter being the turning point in all four previous games, they can't afford to have anyone foul out.

as.comPosted at: 19:14EDT11/05/2022

Jayson Tatum goes for three and the ball goes in and out, before coming down for a miss.

as.comPosted at: 19:12EDT11/05/2022

Giannis is carrying a heavy burden on the Milwaukee offense but he is starting to get a bit of help on the outside. The Celtics are calm throughout the attack and the crowd starts to get into the game. Giannis turns in the paint and hits for two to bring it to 11-8

as.comPosted at: 19:11EDT11/05/2022

And Horford responds immediately. The back and forth that we saw in the first games is repeated here as the Bucks take it straight back down for another three. With a miss by the Celtics, the Bucks start to draw out into a lead 9-5.

We are minutes away from tip off and the Garden holds a minutes silence for the passing of Hall of Fame legend Bob Lanier.

as.comPosted at: 19:00EDT11/05/2022

The real turning point in all four games so far has been the fourth quarter play. The scores have been either fairly close or a blowout that would be overturned at the end of three in every matchup. The team that took their game up a notch in the last quarter has come away with the victory every time.

Do the Bucks or the Celtics have the depth on the bench to maintain pressure on the opposition going into the final stretch?

as.comPosted at: 18:36EDT11/05/2022

The Bucks opened the series with a 101-89 win at Boston and the Celtics turned the tables on them in Game 4, so both teams have shown that they can win on the road. The Celtics need to keep that momentum going, especially in the three point game, where they often looked completely in control in Game 4.

as.comPosted at: 18:34EDT11/05/2022 as.comPosted at: 18:28EDT11/05/2022

Game 4 Recap:

The story was nearly written halfway through the fourth quarter. The Bucks were cruising and in control, largely on the back of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s seeming unstoppability. But then something happened.

It was almost like a switch flipped. Milwaukee started dropping shots, while Boston’s play from the three point line looked at times unguarded. In the end, Al Horford and Jayson Tatum came away with 30 points each and Boston overcame what was at one point an eleven point deficit to win game four 116-108. Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 34 but, he was largely a one-man band with the rest of the Bucks offense falling mute.

as.comPosted at: 18:18EDT11/05/2022

With Robert Williams questionable for tonight's game, the Celtics will have a difficult time of it. The Bucks have problems of their own with Khris Middleton still out of their lineup.

as.comPosted at: 18:16EDT11/05/2022
