Jrue Holiday and the supporting cast were the big contributors in the first half. The Bucks only led by four at halftime. Towards the end of the first half, Milwaukee decided to make bad passes and take stupid shots, which is why they only led by four. At the start of the second half, Kris Middleton had enough and took over the game. He scored twenty three points in the quarter. The Bucks had a twenty point lead in the fourth quarter, which got trimmed down to six, with about three minutes left. They were taking terrible shots.
Jrue Holiday made a big lay up to make it an eight point lead. Milwaukee clamped down on defense after the Holiday lay up. Bucks never trailed in the game, which is impressive on the road. This was Milwaukee’s first Eastern Conference Championship since 1974. Now they take on the Suns in the finals, starting Tuesday night, in Phoenix.
