Milwaukee Bucks: Trusting Khris Middleton in clutch time pays off in NBA Finals

Jul 14, 2021; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA (Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports)

These are the moments that the Milwaukee Bucks have been increasingly built for and why they have entrusted Khris Middleton down the stretch of close games.

With a sold-out crowd at Fiserv Forum at the edge of their seats, the Bucks delivered a gritty, grimy 109-103 victory in Game 4 of their NBA Finals series with the Phoenix Suns that helped even up the series.

Through all of the adversity and hard work spent chasing the game just in order to stay within striking distance of a Suns team that had Devin Booker delivering an all-time performance in his own right, Middleton and the Bucks kept chopping wood and carrying water as Bucks legend Marques Johnson would say.
