The Toronto Raptors have evened their best-of-seven NBA playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks at two games apiece winning 87-76 on Saturday afternoon.
This road win means the Raptors will now have the opportunity to take advantage of home court and take a lead in the series back at the Air Canada Centre on Monday.
The Bucks were able to keep up with Toronto until an 8-0 run in the 3rd quarter which propelled the Raps to take command, after which they never looked back, holding the lead for the rest of the game.
Toronto was looking to respond after Thursday night’s 104-77 blowout by the Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee.
DeMar DeRozan had his best playoff performance in Game 4 with 33 points, five assists and nine rebounds on 12-of-22 shooting from the field. Kyle Lowry was also in good form, scoring 18 points, four assists and four rebounds.
Bucks All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was held to just 14 points, his lowest scoring effort in the series so far.
Game 5 of the first round playoff series takes place at 7 p.m. ET at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
