Milwaukee Bucks: 3 takeaways from Game 6 vs. Celtics

1. The dynamic duo are hard to stop

The Milwaukee Bucks have been developing the dynamic due of Giannis Antetounmpo and Khris Middleton for a number of seasons now. They are looking very hard to stop right now, especially when the supporting cast steps up.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 26.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game. This game he was even better. He scored 31 points on the night, including 12 in the fourth quarter, to make sure the Celtics did not get a run on. He also collected a game-high 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals.

Middleton has also been incredible in this series. He is averaging 23.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game. He is hitting 59.6 percent of his shots from the field and an insane 62.5 percent from deep.

His Game 6 was a little quieter, only scoring 16 points and collecting five rebounds. However, Middleton was 7-for-8 from the field and 2-for-2 from deep. It is shooting like this that opens the floor for Antetokounmpo’s incredible inside game

For the Milwaukee Bucks to take Game 7 on Boston’s floor, these two are going to have to be amazing. They will, of course, need the help of the rest of the team. Can they lead the Bucks out of the first round for the first time since the 2000-01 season?
