And they might have to play Game 5 without their two superstars.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, "there is doubt" that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard will suit up for Game 5.

Antetokounmpo is dealing with a calf strain while Lillard is suffering from an Achilles tendon strain. Charania reported that "both have tricky strains that complicate returns and create risk."
