The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as the Bucks and Raptors prepare for a crucial Game 5.

In this edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we continue to look back on a disappointing Game 4 loss for the Milwaukee Bucks, while also looking ahead to Monday’s all-important Game 5.

Having performed well in Toronto in the series’ two previous road games, the Bucks head back to Canada desperate to pick up a win to re-seize the initiative in the series and force the Raptors into a win or go home scenario when they return to Milwaukee on Thursday.

As the series reaches what seems certain to be a dramatic conclusion, stick with us at Behind the Buck Pass where we’ll round up all the key news every morning in this daily column.
