- It is such a blessing to work with Giannis every day.
He is such a special person, in fact more special as a person than as a player.
I have learned so much from him and his leadership, says coach Mike Budenholzer according to Reuters.
The Mikwaukee Bucks won their first NBA title in 1971. Since then, there has been a long wait.
And when the final series began with two losses against the Phoenix Suns, it looked like the wait was not over.
But Milwaukee came back, and with tonight's victory against Phoenix at home, there were four victories in a row - and thus the NBA title is also in port.
The most important players in the final series
The team's big star Giannis Antetokounmpo accounted for 50 points, the most in the match and was named the final series' most important player.
Phoneix Jae Crowder scored 41 points.
The match was even, and home teams and guests took turns winning the periods.
Milwaukee pulled away with 26-16 in the first, while Phoenix went back and forth in the lead with 47-39 in the second.
After the third, it was completely even, 77-77.
Milwaukee pulled away again in the final period.
But two free throws by Phoenix with just over a minute left meant that there was only a difference of four points between the teams.
But Phoenix never came closer than that, and Milwaukee can celebrate their title after 4-2 in games.
