Leading the series 3-2 after Thursday night’s 123-112 win, the Bucks are one win away from making the NBA Finals for the first time since 1974.

Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks Preview
It was a shock to see the usually feisty Atlanta Hawks lack fire at the beginning of a game, but that’s how they looked on Thursday. It was the exact opposite of Game 4 when they came out ferociously despite missing their heart and soul in Trae Young. If they want a shot at the championship, interim coach Nate McMillan will have to get Bogdan Bogdanovic going early. If Young can’t give it a go, the Hawks will need more than just Bogdanovic to step up. Lou Williams, who started for the second straight game versus the Bucks was phenomenal but could not carry the same tempo. After their game 5 loss, things will become tough ahead of next game.
The uncertainty of Antetokounmpo’s status is the biggest concern for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6. However, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton have proven that they can handle business without their superstar teammate. The Game 5 win showcased how much firepower the Milwaukee Bucks have if they click on all cylinders in the NBA Playoffs. Holiday and Middleton were inspiring, and both seemed to embrace the extra load that was placed on their shoulders. With game 6 just ahead of them, they will look to seize the series and move ahead to finals.
