After dominant wins in Games 3 and 4, the Bucks hold a 3-1 series lead over the Bulls and are one win away from the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The reason? Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champs have hit another gear and have their eyes set on a second-round meeting with the Celtics.

With All-Star Khris Middleton sidelined due to a sprained MCL, it's been Grayson Allen that has stepped up for Milwaukee. In Game 3, Antetokounmpo (32), Allen (27), and Jrue Holiday (26) combined to score 85 of the Bucks' 119 points.
Grayson is the first player in Bucks franchise history with at least 5 three-pointers in consecutive playoff games. (via @ESPNStatsInfo)

The Bulls will have their work cut out for them in Game 5, as All-Star guard Zach LaVine has been placed in COVID-19 health and safety protocols and is unlikely to suit up. Making matters worse is that LaVine's backcourt mate Alex Caruso is in concussion protocols and may not be able to suit up, either.
Does DeMar DeRozan have any more heroics left after scoring 41 points in Chicago's Game 2 win? Or will Milwaukee close things out on its home floor to move on to the next series?
Here is everything you need to know about Game 5.
