Milwaukee secures a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals after a nail-biting 123-119 victory
The Milwaukee Bucks are now just one win away from securing their first NBA championship since 1971, after defeating the Phoenix Suns 123-119 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The thrilling game saw the Bucks take a 3-2 lead in the series, with both teams battling fiercely through every possession.
The Bucks celebrated wildly in front of their home crowd, though concerns about a potential Covid surge in Wisconsin arose as no masks were seen among fans. While the Bucks are on the cusp of glory, Phoenix, led by Chris Paul, is unlikely to go down without a fight, and Game 6 promises to be another epic encounter.
