Milwaukee Bucks: 3 takeaways from 120-103 Game 4 win over Miami Heat

Brook Lopez delivered another definitive performance in Game 4 for Milwaukee Bucks

Another Bucks player who proved to be a massive difference for the Bucks in their series sweep over the Heat was Brook Lopez and he surely didn’t slow down in Game 4.

Lopez posted a game-high 25 points on 11-for-15 shooting, eight rebounds, two assists and was a +22 in nearly 28 minutes of action.

As was the case all series long, Lopez’s presence proved to be too massive, quite literally, for the Heat’s ball handlers to get around in the paint and at the basket. While Bam Adebayo did show signs of life in Game 4 after struggling all series long, Lopez did his best in making Adebayo work for all 20 of his points, which came on 10-for-17 shooting.

It was on the offensive end, though, where Lopez saved his best performance of the series for Game 4. Even without attempting a shot from long range, Lopez delivered back-breaking buckets on the Heat, whether it was due to second chance efforts, putting down one-handed runners and throwing down vicious slams after setting big screens for pick-and-rolls.

Like the Bucks’ Big 3 or Forbes, you can’t tell the story of how this series went in the Bucks’ favor so definitively without touching on Lopez’s contributions and he kept it up in Game 4.
