Nick Whalen and Alex Barutha react to the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo has no structural damage in his knee after leaving Tuesday night's Game 4 loss to the Hawks. However, there's a good chance the Bucks will be without Giannis for at least a few games, so the guys discuss how the injury shapes the series and whether the Hawks can now pull off perhaps the most improbable Finals run in NBA history.
