TORINO – Milwaukee sponge the TD Garden in Boston and goes 3-2 in the series. The reigning champions, with a great comeback from -14 in the last quarter of the race, win by three lengths – 110-107 – and they see the finals of the Eastern Conference. A triumph, that of Milwaukee which bears the signature of the usual Giannis Antetokounmpo: the Greek lives his best shooting night in these playoffs with 16/27 from the field, 40 points overall and 11 rebounds. A masterful performance that sounds like a warning to all direct competitors: the Bucks want the back-to-back. Decisive too Jrue Holiday: in addition to the 24 points on the scoresheet seasoned by 8 rebounds and 8 assists, the Bucks’ playmaker cancels Marcus Smart in the last two possessions in Boston.
