The Boston Celtics’ Marcus Smart was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, but it was down to Jrue Holiday of the Milwaukee Bucks to show him how it’s done.
Holiday came in clutch in the final moments of Game 5, single-handedly stopping the Celtics’ last two plays to ensure the Bucks take a 3-2 series lead in the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had his best performance of the playoffs so far, top-scoring with 40 points and adding 11 rebounds.
A victory back at the Fiserv Forum on Friday will see Milwaukee in their third Conference Finals in four years.
