Can you smell that? It’s the Milwaukee Bucks clinching home court throughout the 2019 NBA Playoffs. No big deal. A 6-point comeback win over the 76ers on the road made clinching it a bit sweeter.
The Bucks were led by a monster performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo who dropped 45 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and five blocked shots. It was quite the MVP performance. Khris Middleton returned from a brief absence and scored 22 points in 25 minutes.
They were a bit shorthanded due to the questionable ejection of point guard Eric Bledsoe early in the first quarter, but still prevailed.
