A third-quarter ordeal helped the Milwaukee Bucks return to the NBA finals for the first time since 1974 – and they did it with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who sat on the bench for the second game in a row.
The Greek freak suffered a hyperextended left knee when he landed awkwardly in game four, but his teammates responded by commanding the next two games to end Milwaukee’s 47-year exile from the final.
In the sixth game, Khris Middleton scored 23 points in the third quarter, while Milwaukee scored 44 points in ridiculously free time. The Bucks claimed the game 118-107 to seal a 4-2 straight win.
The Bucks will next face the Phoenix Suns in an NBA Finals series between two franchises with only one title between them – the 1971 Milwaukee Championship.
