In Game 2’s final minute, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks moved across the perimeter, through a series of screens, to get a favourable match-up. Really though, when you’re seven feet tall, able to cross the court in three steps, and own arms that recall super-heroic feats, every match-up is a favourable one. By chance — or design — Giannis stood opposed by the Raptors’ Kyle Lowry, the smallest guy on the court.
In that moment, Game 2 was tied 100-100, and the Air Canada Centre, already atomized to explode, got tense.
