The Bucks had an opportunity in starting to dominate the series after the star player Trae Young, who was out for Game 4 with a deep bond bruise in his right foot and an acute absence of physical strength and a notable degree of pain made it impossible for him to return, but they couldn’t take the advantage of this situation. The outcome was the opposite that took place at State Farm Arena and Bucks got dominated early with no chance to fight back after their star player of the series, Giannis Antetokounmpo was forced to go off following hyperextending his knee.

Lou Williams played for Atlanta Hawks in place of Trae Young. He answered in a major way and finished with a game-high 21 points that led six Hawks players to score in double figures.
Both of the teams didn’t have their star players. The Hawks were already playing without Trae Young while Antetokounmpo hyperextended his left knee in the early third quarter when he tried to deflect a lob that was thrown to Clint Capela. However, this wasn’t the only reason why the opponent won, Williams played a major role in absence of their star player Young.
Bogdan Bogdanovic does it on both ends as the @ATLHawks even the #NBAECF presented by AT&T at 2-2! Game 5 is Thursday (8:30 PM ET, TNT). #ThatsGame #NBAPlayoffs
