The Toronto Raptors knotted the Eastern Conference Finals best-of-seven series versus the Milwaukee Bucks at two wins apiece on Tuesday evening. Nikola Mirotic scored in double-digits for the fifth time in the row, but only made 2/8 shots beyond the arc for the losing side that lost touch from the beggining of Game 4’s second half.

“It wasn’t our best game. Nobody said it was going to be easy. We need to go back to Milwaukee and do what they did to us” Mirotic said after the game and afterwards admitted: “We are struggling. I’m the first one. I made my first triple and then missed the next six.”

Asked about his team’s offensive struggles, the 28-year-old forward replied: “When we’re not making shots, we have to do some stuff a little bit different” and added: “There’s no pressure. We have good looks. We have to keep shooting.”

Game 5 will take place on Thursday at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum and Game 6 will follow on Saturday at the Scotiabank Arena. If the two sides split the two upcoming matches, Game 7 will be played on Monday at Milwaukee.
