Main round winner Milwaukee Bucks is threatened with a quick end in the playoffs of the North American professional basketball league (NBA). The regular-season best team lost the fourth game at the Miami Heat 114-119 in the first round on Monday night (local time) and is already 3-1 behind in the best-of-seven series. Miami is only missing one win to reach the quarterfinals.
The outstanding player was Miami’s Jimmy Butler with 56 points, which not only set a personal career best, but also set a franchise record for his team in the playoffs. Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed the previous two games through injury, returned with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists for a triple-double with double digits in three categories. Meanwhile, Miami was already 14 points behind. The team from Florida had not yet made up such a big deficit in the current season.
For the Los Angeles Lakers around superstar LeBron James, moving into the next round is also within reach. In game four, the Lakers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 117-111 following overtime and also lead 3-1. James dominated the game with his 20 rebounds and 22 points.
