After Milwaukee barely won the third game in the series, tonight's game was also close until the fourth quarter where Al Horford and Jason Taitum took control of the game and scored 28 points together, just as Milwaukee as a whole scored.
Hereford fired in color with 16 points and Taitum added 12, including some big clutch points.
Milwaukee opened the fourth quarter with a 73-80 lead, but the Celtics stormed in with a 1-8 run at the start of the quarter and forced a quick equalizer.
Yannis Antocompo still set up a 92:94 lead for the Bucks in the middle of the quarter, but then Horford alone scored 6 straight points, Brock Lopez shrank to 98:96 and then the performance of Taitum who scored 8 points began and the Celtics secured the win with a 2:14 run.
This time Taitum overcame him.

Horford and Taitum scored 30 points each, when for the 35-year-old veteran it was a career-high in the playoffs.
Taitum added 13 rebounds, 5 assists and made up for his weak ability in game number 3. On the other hand, Yannis Antocompo was great as usual with 34 points (14 of 32), 18 rebounds and 5 assists.
Brock Lopez assisted him with 17 and Jero Holliday contributed 16 and 9 assists.
But Milwaukee's bench was ineffective this time around and the outside percentage (9 out of 27) was in the back of the champion, who will now have to win again in Boston so as not to be knocked out already in the semi-finals and part with her title.
