Finale

The Bucks should be riding high after a huge victory on Thursday, but the team has to remember that this series is far from over. Losing their edge would be the worst thing that could happen to the Milwaukee Bucks right now.

That edge has gotten them two wins over a team who most NBA fans believed would have little trouble dispatching the Bucks in this series. The Raptors haven’t found their rhythm, mostly because the Bucks body blows haven’t allowed them to.

It’s too early to go for a knockout just yet, but another game full of jabs and suffocating defense will put the Bucks in position to go for the series victory starting as early as Game 5.
