NBA Finals
Game 6
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 50 points and the Bucks took care of Game 6 with a 105-98 win over the Phoenix Suns in Milwaukee tonight to capture their first NBA title since 1971.
The Suns didn't have an answer the entire series for the 26-year-old from Athens, Greece. The Bucks, down two games to start the series, rebounded behind the 6-11 power forward to win four games in a row to eliminate a very good Suns team that simply ran out of gas.
Chris Paul led the Suns with 26 points and five assists, while Devin Booker, after a combined 82 points in Game 4 and 5, settled for 19 points tonight. Deandre Ayton, the former Arizona Wildcat, added 12 points and six boards.
It looked like the Phoenix Suns were heading for their first NBA title after going up 2-0 in the series, but the Bucks evened the series at home and then stole a win in Phoenix in Game 5.
Congrats to the Suns on a great season. As for the Milwaukee fans, they are celebrating in the streets.
