When the Milwaukee Bucks needed it most, Khris Middleton delivered.
With their backs against the wall, the Bucks staved off the end to their 2020-21 season by taking home a 104-89 victory in Game 6 at Fiserv Forum to force a winner-take-all Game 7 back in Brooklyn Saturday night. It didn’t come without some nervy moments along the way, but Middleton did his best to keep the Bucks on track before pulling away in the fourth quarter.
Scoring 38 points on just 11-for-16 shooting (5-for-8 from 3-point range, 11-for-12 from the free throw line), 10 rebounds, five assists as well as five steals in nearly 42 minutes of action.
