Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo explained the reason his team lost Game 4 of the series versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

“I feel like we played like we was up 3-0,” Adebayo said, via ESPN’s Nick Friedell. “At the end of the day we should have played like we was in Game 1, Game 2 and Game 3 … We didn’t play as hard as we should have. I feel like we didn’t play a maximum effort the whole game.”

Adebayo took over in the paint especially after Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game with an ankle sprain. Miami’s big man came close to a triple-double leading the Heat to three statistical categories.

He finished the contest with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. The Miami Heat will have three more games to close out the series against the Bucks, as they have a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
