After the Milwaukee Bucks dazzling Game 5 win over the Phoenix Suns they are now just one win away from an NBA championship as the series shifts back to Milwaukee for Game 6 on Tuesday.
The Bucks have a chance to close the series out in front of their hometown fans and there is a great chance that it will happen as Milwaukee has been close to unstoppable at home only losing one game there.
The Bucks can largely thank their first-team all-defense point guard Jrue Holiday for the Game 4 win as he scored 27 points and dished out a huge 13 assists as well as being a beast on the defensive end of things. Holiday also created the most important play of the game late in the fourth quarter when he stole the ball from Devin Booker and threw an alley-oop to Giannis Antetokounmpo to seal the game.
“My dad thinks I’m the best player in the world, Holiday said with a smile. He just feels like I can do everything — play 48 minutes, I don’t need to come out, I don’t need a break. But really just be aggressive the whole game,” he told ESPN.
Suns looking to force a Game 7
Another notable performance was the 40 point game by Devin Booker. Unfortunately, it just was not enough to stop Antetokounmpo and the Bucks from taking a 123-119 victory in Game 5. And of course, Khris Middleton also had a solid game with 29 points and proved to be the team’s main option in the second quarter.
Now that the Bucks have a chance to end the series with a home win in Game 6 on Tuesday, the debut of Giannis’ status as an unforgettable player is sure to happen. If he wins the title this year it is possible that people will start seeing him as one of the top-three or 4 players in the NBA. But we will have to see what happens as this series is far from over especially if the Suns take Game 6 in Milwaukee.
As we patiently await the tip-off of Game 6 we can’t help from imagining what will happen. Will the Suns take it to a Game 7? Or will the Bucks close out the series and be crowned the 2021 NBA champions?
All we can do for now is wait and see what happens at the final buzzer of Game 6 to see if there will be a new NBA champion crowned. Whatever happens this has been a great series and will continue to be one until the final buzzer.
