The Milwaukee Bucks (2-1) host the Toronto Raptors (1-2) for the fourth game of their No. 3 vs. No. 6 matchup on Saturday afternoon. Here is how to watch Game 4 of their opening-round series online.

From the opening tip, the route was on in Milwaukee for Game 3. The Bucks dominated all aspects of the hardwood, moving one step closer to winning their first playoff series since the 2000-01 season.

Blame it on Toronto’s seemingly perennial postseason letdowns, the resonating energy of Milwaukee’s raucous sold-out home crowd, or the mere presence of Aaron Rodgers, but the Raptors came out flatter than how Kyrie Irving views the earth.

Toronto led the league in double-digit comebacks this year, but showed no fight once they fell behind. Instead, they only looked downtrodden and frustrated.

The Bucks on the other hand, played with vibrancy. Of course, it helps when you shoot the ball into the ocean and make over 50 percent of your 3-point attempts (but still). Milwaukee hopes some of that magic can carry over to Game 4.

I’d be surprised if the Raptors changed their starting lineup of Kyle Lowry, DeMar Derozan, DeMarre Carroll, Serge Ibaka, and Jonas Valanciunas. However, I’d expect more minutes for P.J. Tucker and Patrick Patterson, both showing to be more effective in this matchup than either Carroll or Valanciunas. The Bucks will continue to send out Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Thon Maker.
