The Bucks are on the brink of a championship thanks to one key stretch of play

People are rightfully praising Jrue Holiday for his strip of Devin Booker at end of the Game Five. That strip prevented the Suns from possibly scoring the go-ahead basket with less that 17 seconds left, and led to a break culminating in a perfect lob pass from Holiday to Giannis Antetokoumpo for a dunk, giving the Bucks a three-point lead. After bricking the “and-one” free throw that would have sealed the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo smartly tapped the rebound back to Khris Middleton — a much better outcome than Giannis grabbing the rebound himself and having to shoot more free throws.
