NBA Playoffs 2019: 3 Talking Points from Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors, Game 4

#2 The Raptors Defense Puts Pressure on the Bucks:

Giannis Antetokounmpo at the free throw line

Having the most dominant player in the paint, in the current NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks are able to successfully space the floor and and utilize their outside shooting when the defense collapses on Giannis. The sharpshooters on the Bucks have been one of the biggest contributors to their success this season. However, they were held to just 31.4% from beyond the arc in game 4, due largely to the quick defensive rotations by the Raptors.

Kawhi Leonard, who is arguably the best two way player in the league, has kept the dominance of Antetokounmpo at bay throughout the last two games.

Khris Middleton led the Bucks with a team high 30 points on 11 of 15 shooting from the field and also added 7 assists to his stat line. The remainder of the team however, was unable to find their footing on the offensive end and will look to bounch back at their home court in game 5.
