Giannis scored 50 points in the championship game against the Suns. He is now tied for the 6th most points scored in an NBA finals game.

He had a memorable finals run as he averaged 35 points, 13 rebounds, 1 steal, and almost 2 blocks per game. Moreover, he has now had a game-winning block, a game-winning dunk, and a historic performance all in one Finals run. He shined brightly when all the attention was on him.

Milwaukee, a city of champions after 50 Years

The Milwaukee Bucks hold the Larry O’Brien trophy after 50 years. Fiserv Forum went wild as the buzzer sounded. Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the night, other Bucks’ players played a huge part.

Off the bench, Bobby Portis scored his series-high 16 points. His energy was electrifying as he got the crowd going all night. Khris Middleton only added 17 points. However, he hit a clutch shot yet in the 4th quarter yet again while also adding 4 steals. Jrue Holiday struggled in the first half but found his step in the second half as he ended with 12 points and 4 steals.

For the Suns, no one could deliver a big night as Chris Paul scored 26 points. Booker was off tonight as he scored 19 points on 8-22 shooting. Moreover, he shot 0-7 from deep. Ayton couldn’t dominate on the rebounds and the Suns just fell apart towards the end. Being up at the half, Phoenix lost their composure and couldn’t seem to make a shot.

However, the main focus is the Milwaukee Bucks, as they are the 2021 NBA champions!
