Giannis Antetokounmpo is clearly one of the best players in the world, and many do believe that he is in fact the best. Antetokounmpo is the most dominant interior force that we have seen since Shaquille O’Neal, and his prowess at the rim showed in this game against the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics still have a chance to even out the series, but they will have to win a tough game on the road in Milwaukee. However, they definitely have the talent to steal an away game. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum could definitely lead the Celtics to a win in Milwaukee, and they have already won an away game in this series.
For the Milwaukee Bucks, they will aim to close out Game 6 at home. Going into a Game 7 on the road is never a good thing, and perhaps we’ll see Giannis Antetokounmpo step up and lead the Milwaukee Bucks to another win.
This series could still be won by either team, and it’ll be interesting to see if this series goes to Game 7. Even if it doesn’t go all seven games, it was amazing to see Giannis Antetokounmpo square off against Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Hopefully, we see more exciting series like this in the near future.
