One win away from NBA glory.
After a rousing Game 5 victory, the Milwaukee Bucks are in prime position to capture their first NBA title in 50 years when they collide with the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals on Tuesday, July 20 (Wednesday, July 21, Manila time).

The Bucks, who have won the last three games of the best-of-seven affair, look to ride on all the momentum they have and close out the series in front of their home fans in Milwaukee, where they currently have a 9-1 record this postseason.
Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, the top contender for the Finals MVP award should the Bucks win the championship, is expected to lay it all once again for his squad, while the fiery backcourt duo of Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday hope to sustain their stellar play for the Bucks.

On the other side, the Suns, who are facing elimination for the first time in this year’s playoffs, seek to put an end to their three-game losing streak and force a do-or-die Game 7 at home.
Superstar guard Devin Booker, who is coming off another 40-point explosion, is expected to carry the scoring load once again for the Suns, while veteran point guard Chris Paul aims to deliver a much-needed “Point God” performance in the win-or-go home Game 6 for the Suns.
Game time is 9 am.
