Milwaukee Bucks: Khris Middleton continues to rise to the moment

Jun 27, 2021; Atlanta, Georgia, USA: Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

In a season where the Milwaukee Bucks have been focused on rising to the biggest moments, Khris Middleton continues to prove himself capable of doing so.

Middleton’s 38-point performance powered the Bucks to a 113-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals and putting the Bucks up 2-1 in the series. He did so while shooting15-for-26 from the field (6-for-12 from three), 11 rebounds and seven assists in nearly 42-and-a-half minutes of action.

Just as he did to start out the Bucks’ series with the Brooklyn Nets last round, Middleton outscored his production from Games 1 and 2 (30) in Game 3, all of which was certainly due to his scoring spree in the fourth quarter.
