The first half of Game 2 of the NBA Finals didn't go as Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks wanted. The Bucks went off with the lead, then the Phoenix Suns stormed back and went into halftime with a double-digit lead. During a timeout in the second quarter, Giannis was absolutely furious and outraged in the Bucks huddle.

He has every right to be upset, as he is far from 100 percent and is leading the Bucks with every ounce of his body. Besides Giannis, nobody has stepped up for the Bucks in Game 2, and the Suns used a late surge to roll into halftime with the lead.
Furthermore, the Suns are already up 1-0, so the Bucks dropping 2-0 as the series tilts to Milwaukee is going to make it extremely difficult for them to come back.
If the Bucks want a shot in this series, somebody besides Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to have to step up, and who knows what message the two-time MVP will have for his teammates in the locker room at the half.
Game 3 is on Sunday, and perhaps they will go back to the drawing board if they can't overcome the deficit and head back to Milwaukee with a 2-0 deficit in the NBA Finals.
