Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken over the NBA Finals (07.15.2021)

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel July 15, 2021 Duration: 28:59
Thanks to some 40-point performances from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, plus a block that will live forever, the Bucks battled back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the NBA Finals with the Phoenix Suns. Host JR Radcliffe and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Jim Owczarski discuss how the block could ultimately frame the legacy of Antetokounmpo, and is it possible he wins NBA Finals MVP, win or lose? What do we make of Jrue Holiday's continued struggles on offense but dominance on defense? Pat Connaughton has stepped up, Dario Saric's absence is looming pretty large, and who's got the edge in this series now?

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
