The Milwaukee Bucks won their first championship title in 50 years on Monday night, beating the Phoenix Suns 105-98 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Suns won the first two gams of the series, and the Bucks are now only the fifth NBA team to come back and win the championship from a 0-2 deficit. Much of the credit for their victory is due to Giannis Antetokounmpo, the series MVP, who scored 50 points and had 14 rebounds and five blocked shots Monday night. This was his third game this series with at least 40 points and 10 rebounds, and his first NBA Finals.
Chris Paul, making his first NBA Finals appears in 16 seasons, scored 26 points for the Suns on Monday, and Devin Booker had 19 points. Game 6 was played in Milwaukee.
