The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 131–115 on April 5 at Fiserv Forum, with R. Rollins and C. Ryan leading the home team's balanced attack with 24 and 21 points respectively. Milwaukee's offensive efficiency proved decisive, shooting 60.2 percent from the field and draining 16 three-pointers while limiting turnovers to just 20 and maintaining a 127.7 offensive rating. The Bucks' fourth-quarter surge—39 points—sealed the outcome after Memphis mounted a second-half push, with R. Rupert's team-high 33 points and W. Clayton Jr.'s 20 unable to overcome the deficit. Despite the Grizzlies' 17 three-pointers made and 13 steals, their 41.3 field-goal percentage and 111.3 offensive rating proved insufficient against Milwaukee's 111.3 defensive rating. The game fell short of the Vegas total of 230.5, finishing at 246 combined points. Milwaukee's shooting efficiency and fourth-quarter dominance underscore their postseason readiness heading into the stretch run.
