Milwaukee Bucks Game 6 Preview: April 26 vs Boston Celtics
By Adam McGee
Major key for Milwaukee – Get Giannis scoring
If Giannis Antetokounmpo repeats his Game 5 showing in only scoring 16 points in Game 6, the Bucks will likely be going fishing.
Milwaukee need their superstar to not just have his fingers in everything positive they manage to put together, but to go beyond that in being the team’s driving force.
When it comes to Giannis, that driving force can be taken literally.
Antetokounmpo has resorted to passively settling for mid-range jump shots at times in this series, but on Thursday he’ll need to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim.
Of course, Boston will know this and look to pack the paint accordingly, so Giannis will need help. The Bucks will have to look to maximize spacing with their lineups and also keep Boston’s defenders in constant motion. Ball movement will help, but player movement around the perimeter and screens to free up the Greek will be even more essential.
