Getting knocked out of the first round would be unlike the Bucks, but losing at home to end their season to the eight seed could rumble some feathers if Milwaukee cannot pull out a win on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat.
After choking away a 12 point lead with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter on Monday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will have to take it one game at a time if they want to keep their season alive. Milwaukee will have to start by defending Jimmy Butler, who has destroyed the Bucks the entire series. Butler went for 56 points in the upset win on Monday, the win that put the Miami Heat up 3-1 in the series and put the Bucks with their backs against the wall.
The injury report had only one name on it, as Giannis Antetokoumpo was listed as Probable for Wednesday's game with lower back contusions. This means that Wesley Matthews will be back for the Bucks, and could see minutes to guard Jimmy Butler. Jae Crowder saw no minutes against the Heat in Game 4, and was the main deadline accusition of the season.
It is win or go home now for the Bucks for the rest of the series, and will look to win one game at a time until the series potentially goes to the seventh game.
Tipoff from Fiserv Forum is set for 8:30 p.m.
