The Milwaukee Bucks are champions in the NBA for the second time.
50 years after the first title, the team around the again outstanding superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo defeated the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday evening (local time) 105: 98 and ended the final series with the fourth win with 4: 2.
Chris Paul and the Suns have to wait for their first championship in the best basketball league in the world.
The 26-year-old Antetokounmpo dominated the encounter in front of around 17,000 spectators in the Fiserv Forum and at least another 50,000 around the hall in the US state of Wisconsin.
The Greek got 50 points as well as 14 rebounds and two templates.
For the Suns, Paul was the most successful thrower with 26 points.
At halftime, Phoenix was still ahead
Both teams got off to a nervous start.
The Bucks got their nerves under control first and pulled away at 15: 7 for the first time to eight points.
By the end of the first quarter, the hosts increased the lead to 13 points (29:16).
But then they lost control and only hit four out of 20 litters.
The Suns turned the game around before the break, at halftime the guests were 47:42 ahead.
That was far from being a preliminary decision. At 56:55 the Bucks took the lead again for the first time, after the third quarter it was 77:77 and everything was open. Antetokounmpo had with his 37 points at this point only three points less than all his teammates combined. In the final quarter, the Bucks took the lead first and didn't let the Suns get close.
