In the game we just witnessed, I can confidently say that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the standout player, scoring an impressive 55 points to secure the victory. If you’ve been following our past simulations, this shouldn’t come as a shock, given SGA’s dominance in this series. His outstanding performances were evident throughout the tournament, and his hard work truly paid off. To cap it all off, he managed two steals and two blocks in the win.

Regarding Milwaukee’s game, Damian Lillard stood out as the only player to score more than 30 points, managing 35 points despite giving away the ball twice. On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo fell short with just 19 points, and missed a chance for the game-winning shot in the final moments. Overall, his performance was lackluster and not up to the mark, especially considering the team’s loss. However, it’s important to note that this wasn’t a playoff game for Milwaukee.

Meanwhile, despite their loss now, the Bucks will strive to regroup and create a larger impact in the upcoming postseason.
