Milwaukee looked like they were going to steamroll Boston for the second straight game at the Bradley Center. Bucks led by 20 points in the third quarter, but Boston found their way back into this one led by Jaylyn Brown and Jayson Tatum making things extremely tight down the stretch. But like we’ve seen all season, Giannis Antetokounmpo came up big in the final minutes of the game. He had a major tip-in at the end of the game including a huge dunk in the fourth quarter and finding Malcolm Brogdon in the corner to retake the lead. Bucks now have the series tied, and we head to a very tight Game 5.

Bucks block party throw a Sunday Funday
In the last two games, Milwaukee has 27 blocks. 27! They had a playoff record of 14 blocks on Sunday afternoon. They are led by Thon Maker who has been a revelation in the last two games. Jabari Parker found a way to get himself three blocks in the first half, and three other Bucks player had two blocks. It’s fair to say that Boston is resorting to more mid-range shots versus taking it directly at the tin. How many times did Brown or Tatum look for the mid-range bucket versus the lay-up? We’ll see if this keeps up in Boston.

Jabari Parker’s hot weekend
After displaying displeasure in his minutes in the first two games, Jabari Parker played an average of 27.5 minutes in Game 3 and 4. Parker scored 16 points with 7 rebounds with three blocks in Game 4. Parker played engaged in the first half like I haven’t seen him as a Buck. Jabari didn’t look like the player we’ve seen in the past where he disengages on defense. We did not see it in the second half as much, but that’s okay in my book. We’ll see if Bari gets a chance to play the minutes in Game 5.

Joe Prunty is a lucky man
We did not see the bad side of Prunty come out this weekend except for the fourth quarter. He kept Eric Bledsoe out there versus going back to Matthew Dellavedova for some odd reason. There’s no reason for Bledsoe to be out there late in the game. Delly has been such a beast on both sides of the ball. Terry Rozier is completely shook out there with Delly guarding him.

Next up
We all know what’s next. Game 5 in Boston. We’ll see you then.

Charlie.
