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.
