NBA Finals: Top Moments from Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks Game 6
It all came down to this.
An exhilarating series between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns came to a close in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night, with the Bucks coming away with a 105-98 victory.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was unstoppable for the Bucks, scoring 50 points and grabbing 14 rebounds, which tied Bob Petit's record for the most points scored in a Finals closeout game.
His dominant performance led Milwaukee to its first championship in 50 years.
Here are the top moments from Game 6.
Game 6 was off to an ugly start from both teams, with both the Suns and Bucks struggling to find their footing.
And with the offenses stagnant early, the Bucks got the boost they needed from their All-Star duo of Antetokounmpo and Middleton on both ends of the floor.
That ultimately led to the team finding a rhythm that manifested throughout the entire team.

But much like Game 5, the road team began to mount a comeback early in the second quarter.
The Suns rallied back to take the lead midway through the second quarter.
The Suns outscored the Bucks 31-13 in the second quarter to turn a 13-point deficit into a 47-42 halftime lead.
A vintage first half from Paul, who scored 13 points, helped put the Suns in command.
To open the third quarter, the Bucks threw a counter punch and, of course, Antetokounmpo was at the center of the action.
He exploded in the quarter and got timely contributions from Book Lopez as well to help regain the lead.
Antetokounmpo's dominant third quarter caught the attention of some of the NBA's elite, including one LeBron James.
And in the fourth quarter, it was too much Antetokounmpo for the Suns to overcome.
He dominated on both ends of the floor throughout the night, and by the night's end, he had 50 points, which is only the seventh 50-point game in Finals history.
