Can the Bucks Steal A Game In The ATL?
Now Nothing Is Impossible
Now it's a 3-game series. And as Brandon Jennings said early on, it's not a series...until somebody wins on the other team's court. And as he tweeted after the game,we're not a good playoff team...until you win on the road.
It could happen on Wednesday.
But here's what has to happen. Without Andrew Bogut, the Bucks don't have a large margin for error. In both home wins, they shot better than 50 percent from the field. Hitting 28-32 from the free throw line helped win Game 4.
And how about the bench? After 46 points in the Game 3 win, Carlos Delfino hits 6 3's. You can't expect that all the time, but Dan Gadzuric had 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Danny G!
And for some unknown reason, the Hawks failed to go to the rack like they did in Atlanta. Therefore, the rebounds were tied at 33. And the Bucks had an incredible 44-26 bulge in points in the paint.
Now the pressure is on the Hawks. And the series has to come back to Milwaukee for Game 6 on Friday. Maybe, just maybe...the pressure is on Atlanta...and the Bucks can come back here to have a shot at closing it out.
