In a game the Bucks could not afford to lose, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a special performance. Milwaukee relied on Antetokounmpo’s special, almost unstoppable brand of bully-ball. He scored a game-high 41 points, including an impressive 13-for-17 from the foul line. He also had 13 rebounds and six assists.
“There’s a lot of ways you can spin it, but they played with a great deal of aggression for longer stretches than we did,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “We knew it was coming. We did not respond to it well tonight, especially in the second and third quarters. The turnovers certainly hurt us, points in the paint, everything we have been talking about the whole series. So it was a tough lesson for us to learn.”
