MALCOLM BROGDON. B. Steady and reliable, this was far from a dazzling performance from Malcolm Brogdon. Saying that, the reigning Rookie of the Year was up to every task put in front of him, generally did the right things at the right time, and then most importantly of all, he showed no nerves or hesitation when knocking down one of the biggest shots of the game late on. Following on from his Game 1 exploits, it’s clear Brogdon has developed a taste for the big shot. He may well be asked to step up again before the series is out, and right now there’s no reason to doubt he’d deliver whenever called upon.. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON. A. Khris Middleton just continues to pick his spots and dictate the tempo of much of Milwaukee’s efforts in this series.

His scoring has grabbed the headlines throughout the series, but Sunday was further evidence of how the defense he occasionally lacked during the regular season has shown up in a very meaningful way for the playoffs. Middleton has helped to keep the Bucks in this series, and his play has now put them in an excellent position to potentially advance.. Forward

The only real knock on Antetokounmpo’s performance is how often he settled for mid-range jumpers rather than exploiting mismatches to get to the rim, but even that can be overlooked due to how he closed out the contest.
