Milwaukee Bucks: 3 takeaways from Game 6 vs. Celtics

3. Ball movement is key

In the Game 5 loss, coach Joe Prunty yelled for his players to move the ball. When they did this, the scoreboard kept ticking over and it bought them back into the game. Antetokounmpo had nine of the Bucks’ 21 assists last game. This game was a little different.

Of the nine players who took the court tonight, five of them had multiple assists. Antetkounmpo and Eric Bledsoe had four assists each. However, Dellavedova led the Bucks on the night with six dimes. He was also back to his careful best and did not commit a single turnover.

Dellavedova has a knack for finding the right player open at the right time. He is in a shooting slump at the moment, only scoring three points. However, when you help get the rest of the team scoring, this can be forgiven.

For the Bucks, it is crucial that a player not named Antetokounmpo leads the team in assists every night. The Greek Freak is incredible at taking the ball to the hoop, having the offense collapse on him and kicking the ball out.  This does make the Bucks somewhat predictable, which makes them more beatable.

When others are sharing the ball, this makes the Bucks dangerous. They must do this in Game 7 to pull off the first round upset.
