How did the Milwaukee Bucks’ bench perform in Game 4 win over Heat?

SG. Milwaukee Bucks. BRYN FORBES. A+. Bryn Forbes has been phenomenal off the bench consistently for the Bucks throughout this series with the Heat, but he saved the best for last. With Milwaukee needing a spark offensively, Forbes checked in and provided a massive boost on that side of the ball. When the final buzzer rang, Forbes had left his imprint on the game with 22 points. The shooting guard went scorched earth from 3-point territory by knocking in seven triples over his 26 minutes of burn, proving yet again how crucial he will be for this team moving forward.

B+. P.J. Tucker has represented the epitome of toughness during this series with his words and actions, which was apparent in this thrilling Game 4. Although he made a minimal difference on the offensive end by scoring just four points on five shot attempts, Tucker’s impact was felt significantly in the rebounding department by hauling in eight boards. What particularly stood out was how half of those rebounds came on the offensive end, giving the Bucks a handful of extra opportunities to add extra points on the scoreboard. Whether it was with his rebounding or his stellar defense, Tucker was hustling and playing his role to perfection from start to finish.. PF. Milwaukee Bucks. P.J. TUCKER

A. While Forbes unquestionably stole most of the spotlight in the second unit, Bobby Portis also had himself another solid game. The big man made good in his 19 minutes by scoring 13 points while shooting 5-of-10 from the floor, including 3-of-7 from beyond the perimeter. Those three triples helped give the Bucks some life offensively as he continued to let it fly in what has been a career year for him shooting the basketball from long range.. C. Milwaukee Bucks.

INC. With Milwaukee’s guard rotation shorthanded due to DiVincenzo’s absence, Jeff Teague saw some rare minutes in this matchup. Coming in a small sample size of just five minutes played, the veteran floor general left little to decipher as he finished with just three points and a single rebound during his brief stint early on. Teague could be a wild card down the road if he sees more playoff minutes, but his contributions were understandably minimal in yesterday’s outing due to the matchup.. PG. Milwaukee Bucks. JEFF TEAGUE
