The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Boston Celtics in Games 3 and 4 to set up a crucial Game 5 back in Boston.

After losing the first two games of the series in Boston, the Milwaukee Bucks held serve on their home floor by beating the Boston Celtics in Games 3 and 4. It’s now a best-of-three series as the series returns to Boston for Tuesday’s Game 5.

The Bucks destroyed the Celtics in Game 3, and it looked like Game 4 was heading in the same direction. Milwaukee opened up a 20-point advantage in the third quarter, but Boston went on one of its patented runs to get back in the game and ultimately take the lead late in the fourth quarter.

However, the Bucks got a key 3-pointer from Malcolm Brogdon and a game-winning tip-in by Giannis Antetokounmpo to eke out a 104-102 victory. Antetokounmpo’s bucket capped off another big performance in which he put up 27 points, seven rebounds and five assists. He’s averaging 27.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists in this series while shooting 62 percent.

Khris Middleton isn’t doing too shabby himself. Middleton added 23 points in Game 4 and is putting up 25.5 points per game on 61.5 percent shooting.

While the Celtics weren’t able to finish off their comeback and now find themselves in a dogfight, they have to be happy with the play of youngsters Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Brown and Tatum led the comeback effort, with Brown going for a new playoff-career high 34 points. Brown is scoring 23.8 points per game on over 51 percent shooting in this series, and Boston has outscored Milwaukee by 34 points with him on the floor.

As the series returns to Boston, the Celtics are hoping Terry Rozier can find his stroke again. Rozier scored 23 points apiece in Games 1 and 2, only to combine for 19 points on 5-of-19 shooting in Games 3 and 4. Being back at home should make Rozier more comfortable, so perhaps he finds his touch.

Bucks center John Henson missed his second consecutive game with a back injury. Henson is day-to-day. The Celtics could also receive a significant boost if Marcus Smart returns, which is a possibility.

Both teams have looked better on their home court, so the Celtics have that going for them in Game 5. But if Antetokounmpo and Middleton continue scorching the nets like they have, the Bucks will have a chance to steal one on the road.
