On the side of the Suns, if they win this series, they would add their first NBA title
With sheer offensive power, Milwaukee Bucks they triumphed in their visit to Arizona in Game 5 of the finals of the NBA and they were just one game away from becoming champions of this season 2021. The best news for the Milwaukee quintet was that they recovered from the injury to the Greek Giannis Antetokoumpo.
With a final score of 123-119, those led by Helleno silenced the Talking Stick Resort Arena from Phoenix and they took a key victory in the pursuit of the championship. There were 32 points for the Greek, with 9 rebounds and 6 assists, added to the 29 of Khris Middleton and the 27 points and 13 assists of Jrue Holiday to close the visitors form. On the local side, the 40 points of Booker they were not enough for the Suns who in the first quarter had managed to get a difference of 16 points.
Everything could be defined now in the Fiserv Arena, where those led by Mike Budenholzer will go in search of the title at home, while the Suns will do everything possible to force the seventh game and the series concludes in Arizona before their people.
The only title that the Bucks have in their history was achieved after beating the Baltimore Bullets in 1971 in a series that ended 4-0 with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar between their ranks. Years later, those from Wisconsin would play their last final, in the 1974 season against the Celtics. In 7 games, those of Boston they kept the title at that time.
On the side of the Suns, if they win this series, they would add their first NBA title. Previously they had only played two finals, in 1976 against the Celtics with a 4-2 defeat and, in 1993, against the Bulls of Michael Jordan also 4-2.
The finals can end tonight, and it will all depend on what the Bucks do on the floor against the Suns who lost their spirits after winning the first two games.
