The Bucks head back to Boston with the series even at 2-2 after the Celtics win a bruising Game 4
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.
News8000.com reports, “Sparta and UW-Whitewater grad Ryan Wisniewski suited up alongside the likes of second-round pick Christian Watson Friday afternoon for the first day of Packers rookie minicamp. The wide receiver Wisniewski is in camp on a tryout basis, running drills with other undrafted players and 2022 draft selections.”
