The game was tied at 100, and it was Milwaukee ball. The Bucks had a chance to win the game.
But Rudy Gobert watches a lot of basketball, including games in which the Eastern Conference’s best team plays. So he knew what was coming.
“Every time I’ve watched them play, they run that play,” Gobert said. “To me, there was two options, either Kyle was going to come off Brook, then Kyle was going to screen me and they’d pass to Brook, or Middleton was going to curl to the corner. I saw him go, and I saw Royce was hit by the screen, so I had to go.
