The Bucks will return back to Milwaukee for Game 5 with their season on the line, trailing the Heat 3-1 in the series.
After Jimmy Butler delivered a playoff performance for the ages in Game 4, going for a Heat playoff franchise record 56 points to lead his team to victory, Miami is just one win away from pulling off the improbable 8-over-1 upset.
