The Detroit Pistons did all they could to extend the wait further, but after 18 years of searching for a playoff series victory, the Milwaukee Bucks were not to be denied any longer.
There will be no Game 5, with the Bucks’ focus instead shifting to a second round series against the Boston Celtics, the only other team to have swept their way through the first round.
For moments in the first half, Bucks fans could have been forgiven for wondering if the Bucks were going to be able to wrap this one up in four games, though.
