The Milwaukee Bucks dominated in Windy City, winning both games to take a commanding 3-1 lead over the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Playoffs. The Bucks beat the Bulls, 119-95 in Game 4, behind a tremendous performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo and the role players.

Antetokounmpo finished with 32 points, 17 rebounds, seven assists, and two blocks. He hasn't been a consistent scorer throughout the series, but with Khris Middleton out due to an MCL injury, he shouldered more of the scoring load.

Giannis' other co-star Jrue Holiday had a good performance too, as he had 26 points and seven assists. Besides the stars, Grayson Allen and Bobby Portis both made a big impact on the game. Allen scored a playoff career-high 27 points while shooting 10-of-12 from the field and 6-of-7 from three-point range. Portis had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds.

The Bucks have been in sync on both ends of the floor and have thrown off the Bulls' game plan. Here are three reasons why the Bucks will savagely end the Bulls in Game 5 after another beatdown in Game 4.

3 reasons Bucks will end series in Game 5

3. Role players are thriving

Although the stars are the catalysts to winning a championship, having role players thrive can separate the gap between teams. The Bucks' role players have played at a high level, outperforming the Bulls' role players.

In Game 3, Giannis only had 18 points but the Bucks' bench guys stepped up. The Bulls' scheme was to limit Giannis in that game, but they didn't have a solution when the role players rose to the challenge.

With players like Allen and Portis settling into a groove, it will be difficult for the Bulls to come back in this series.

2. Strong defense

Despite having multiple quality offensive players in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, the Bulls have struggled to get going on that end of the floor. They have only scored over 100 points once in the series.

LaVine is in the midst of his first postseason appearance and has not scored as much as usual. He is averaging 19.3 points per game against the Bucks, which is down from his 24.4 points per game in the regular season.

DeRozan has also struggled, averaging 23.3 points per game while shooting only 40% from the field. He has yet to make a three-point shot in the series.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer deserves a ton of credit for coming up with an excellent scheme to fend off the Bulls' stars. The Bucks have two elite defenders in Giannis and Holiday, who have both earned All-Defensive First Team selections in their careers.

Role players like Allen have complemented those two with competitiveness and energy on the defensive end. The Bulls have yet to adjust to this stout defense, and it's not likely that will change in Game 5.

1. Bulls have no answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis is one of the best players in the NBA and not a lot of teams have an answer for him. Teams in the past have had success with setting up a wall as the Toronto Raptors did in the 2019 NBA Playoffs. However, he has grown as a passer since then.

He can now find open shooters who can cash in on multiple defenders keying in on Giannis. This makes it incredibly difficult to stop him, as the Bulls don't have a player who can contain the reigning Finals MVP one-on-one. Second-year forward Patrick Williams has done his best but is no match for the Greek Freak.

In the series, Giannis is averaging 27.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists. With no elite rim protector for the Bulls, no one can deter him from finishing down low.

The Bucks are coming off of their first NBA title in 50 years and have a strong chance to repeat. Taking out the Bulls in Game 5 should be no problem for the defending champions.
