Part 2/7:
Giannis Antetokounmpo, however, demonstrated why he is a top player in the league, stepping up in crunch time. His ability to score in pivotal moments, particularly through his left shoulder hook shot, helped the Bucks bounce back in the late third quarter.
The most telling moment came during the final minutes when the Nets were forced to double-team Giannis, leading to open shots for Bucks players like Bobby Portis. Portis seized the moment, hitting critical above-the-break threes, while also playing tenacious defense despite being targeted by the Nets. This performance highlighted how individual talent and teamwork converge in high-stakes situations.
