Just a week ago, Milwaukee Bucks were 0-2, and their chances of winning the series were near impossible. But they've turned it around, managing to win 3 games in a row to lead the series 3-2. And guess what? They've done it without their star, Andrew Bogut, who had a season ending injury few weeks ago. Everyone on the Bucks, from Salmons to Delfino to Jennings to Thomas has stepped up big.
They were down by 17 points in the 3rd quarter of Game 5, but they ended the quarter with a 7-0 run. The game stayed close during the 4th quarter, as Atlanta's Joe Johnson fouled out. Hawks couldn't make a shot, while Bucks were playing hard on both ends of the floor. Bucks made all their free throws with a minute left of the game, and forced Jamal Crawford of the Hawks to force several shots. Bucks won 91-87, taking the lead of the series.
Tomorrow, Bucks have a chance to end the series and advance to the Second round to play the Orlando Magic. If Hawks are eliminated, this will be one of the biggest upsets during these past few years. I predict Atlanta to win Game 6, but they will have to play harder.
