Marc Gasol only scored eight points in Game 1 and Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals best-of-seven series between his Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the 34-year-old Spaniard center bounced back with a couple of strong showings in Game 3 and Game 4. The series is now tied at 2-2.
“I allowed my frustrations offensively impact my defense and that really took me for a spin” he confessed following Game 4 commenting on his performance in Game 1 and Game 2. “But that’s life, right? You get knocked down and get back up, and try to do better” he added.
Gasol produced 17 points, seven assists, five boards, two rejections and one steal in 31 minutes on Tuesday helping his side secure the “W”. Game 5 will be played on Thursday at Milwaukee before the series returns to Canada for Game 6 on Saturday.
