The Milwaukee Bucks are alive, and after an incredible effort and a lot of heart, they avoided a series sweep by showing some real pride in Game 4 against the Miami Heat.
A fantastic individual start from Giannis Antetokounmpo certainly gave cause for encouragement as he scored 19 points in 11 minutes, but then disaster struck for the Bucks.

The same right ankle that had led to Giannis being deemed as questionable heading into the game, gave way to leave the MVP writhing on the floor in pain, and initially needing to be helped off the floor.
With that signaling the end of Antetokounmpo’s game, it seemed as if the Bucks were destined for a sweep in which anything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
To their immense credit, though, the Bucks didn’t roll over. They came up with a big response instead, with Khris Middleton leading the way with a heroic performance.
It took overtime to get the job done, and there were twists and turns until the final seconds, but the Bucks finally got their first win in the series.
With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the game’s key takeaways.
