“#Khris Middleton heroics saved the Bucks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Bucks forward Khris Middleton is a two-time All-Star who shuns the spotlight and animated theatrics.<\/p>\n

But in the final two minutes of Milwaukee\u2019s comeback in Game<\/a> 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, you couldn\u2019t avoid Middleton\u2019s heroics. He led the Bucks, in front of their hometown crowd, with 10 straight points down the stretch to highlight his 40 points, six rebounds and four assists in Milwaukee\u2019s 109-103 victory over the Suns.<\/p>\n

He was 15-for-33 from the field \u2014 the most shot attempts he ever hhas taken in the playoffs, while his partner, Giannis Antetokounmpo, had a low-volume evening. Middleton didn\u2019t make this year\u2019s All-Star Game, but he may soon have a championship ring.<\/p>\n

When Middleton was asked by a reporter when he knew it would be \u201ca Khris Middleton Night,\u201d Bucks teammate Pat Connaughton interrupted, saying, \u201cEvery night is a Khris Middleton Night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, if Antetokounmpo had scored 10 straight points down the stretch to win Game 4, there would be calls for a Greek Freak statue to be erected in downtown Milwaukee. (He still may get one because of his block on Deandre Ayton\u2019s alley-oop dunk.)<\/p>\n

But Milwaukee won because of Middleton\u2019s soft, feathery sweet jumper late in a game in which the Bucks had trailed throughout.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great,\u2019\u2019 Antetokounmpo said. \u201cHe was being aggressive. I kept communicating to him that there were things that we could do to get him wide open, to get him to the elbow jump shot because usually they are helping a lot when he\u2019s turning the corner. But that\u2019s what he does down the stretch. We want him to have the ball. We want him to be the decision maker. We know he\u2019s going to take big shots, and tonight he was incredible. We need him to keep doing it. We are within reach of our goals.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Middleton talks softly and carries a wicked jumper, but he may be close to earning superstar credibility if the Bucks win two more games and clinch Milwaukee\u2019s first title since 1972.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need somebody who can make those shots,\u2019\u2019 Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. \u201cHe and Giannis in a pick-and-roll, Giannis setting great screens. Khris, I thought he had some good looks kind of early. But then he just stayed with it. Credit to him. A lot of big, tough shots, and then the tough finish in transition. He was special.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Regarding the lack of headlines he gets, Middleton said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t care what you guys write or what you guys think, whether it\u2019s good or bad. But for my teammates to have the confidence in me, trust in me, that\u2019s most important of alll.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
