- By Adam Himmelsbac­h

MILWAUKEE — The Celtics roared back to a resounding Game 4 win, beating the Bucks 116-108 in Milwaukee to tie up this Eastern Conference semifinal series at 2-2.

Al Horford had a night to remember, scoring 30 points — his career playoff high — to key Boston.

Jayson Tatum came up big down the stretch after a slow start. He finished with 30 points.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokoun­mpo was clearly exhausted in the second half, but finished with 34 in the loss.

Boston had 48 points in the paint tonight. They had just 44 total over Games 1 and 2 in this series.

Grant Williams started in place

of Robert Williams, who was unavailabl­e due to left knee sore

ness — a residual effect from his meniscus surgery in March.

Game 5 will be Wednesday at TD Garden.
