The Milwaukee Bucks may have lost Game 4 to the Boston Celtics, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is not letting his emotions get the best of him.

After getting outshined by Al Horford during Monday's contest, Antetokounmpo naturally feels terrible. However, it is not letting it distract him from focusing at the task they have now: which is to bounce back on the road in Game 5.

“The thing about the playoffs: You win, you feel great, you lose, you feel terrible. … No matter what I feel, emotions are for movies, not for basketball,”Antetokounmpo said, per Ben Golliver of Washington Post.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had another monster game for the Bucks, finishing with 34 points, 18 rebounds and five assists. Unfortunately, none of his teammates stepped up this time around, while the Celtics got the usual production from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, as well as a major boost from Al Horford.

The Bucks are the defending champions, and they are well aware of what they are capable of doing with the guys they have sans Khris Middleton. As Antetokounmpo highlighted, they have to quickly move on from their defeat and shrug off that painful feeling that comes along with it as they shift their focus on the next game.

Sure enough, that is the right mentality to have, especially since they'll be facing another hostile environment in Game 5. If anything, that mental resilience of Giannis should be crucial as they try to retake the series lead.
