Despite being without reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for the majority of Game 4 because of an ankle injury, the Milwaukee Bucks were able to stave off elimination on Sunday afternoon against the Miami Heat. Antetokounmpo, who initially injured his right ankle in Game 3, played just 11 minutes before re-injuring it in Game 4. However, when Antetokounmpo went down, other members of Milwaukee were ready to step up. With their season hanging in the balance, the short-handed Bucks battled hard and took the Heat to overtime. From there, they outscored Miami by three points and pulled out a crucial 118-115 win.
Khris Middleton led the way for the Bucks in Game 4, as the All-Star forward embraced the role of Milwaukee's go-to guy with Antetokounmpo out of action. Middleton finished with 36 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and several clutch shots. He had some major help, too, as Eric Bledsoe and Brook Lopez combined to score 24 points. Antetokounmpo also added 19 points before he was knocked out of the contest.
The loss was Miami's first of the 2020 NBA postseason. The Heat swept their first-round series with the Pacers and then went on to win the first three games of the series against the Bucks. Bam Adebayo paced Miami with 26 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in Game 4, while Duncan Robinson also added 20 points. All five Heat starters scored at least 17 points, but ultimately their collective production wasn't enough. Down 3-1 in the series, the Bucks still face an uphill battle, especially since Antetokounmpo's status moving forward isn't known at this point. Still, they were at least able to avoid the sweep, and live to fight another day.
