An uninspired performance led the Milwaukee Bucks to defeat on Tuesday. After Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Giannis Antetokounmpo gave credit to the Toronto Raptors: “They did a great job defensively, but we got to execute better.”
The best-of-seven series is now tied at two wins apiece, but Game 5 will be played at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum on Thursday. “Hopefully when we get back home we can play better” the Greek Freak noted.
The 24-year-old point forward notched 25 points, ten rebounds, five dimes, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes, but his team lacked its known passion from the start of the second half. However, Antetokounmpo pointed out: “We’re not going to lose our confidence.”
Asked if he feels pressured, he replied: “No pressure. We have to go out there and have fun, play good basketball and win” and afterwards explained: “It’s not the end of the world if you lose one or two games.”
