In what has been a knock-down, drag-out second-round series in the NBA playoffs, the Milwaukee Bucks missed a chance to put the Boston Celtics in a stranglehold.
Jayson Tatum and Al Horford each scored 30 points and both made big plays down the stretch as the Celtics earned a bruising 116-108 victory in Game 4 Monday night at Fiserv Forum.
Boston’s victory evened the best-of-seven matchup at 2-2. Game 5 is Wednesday night at TD Garden in Boston.
