Milwaukee Bucks swingman Khris Middleton had a big night in their Game 2 win over the Boston Celtics to tie the series at one game apiece. Head coach Mike Budenholzer commended his performance, noting that his 3-pointers were a result of individual and team efforts.
Middleton finished with 28 points which included seven 3-pointers out of 10 attempts. Per Kane Pitman of The Pick and Roll, Budenholzer knows that Middleton is at his best in transition and thrives from deep during such situations. In addition, he also commended the team's activity and aggressiveness which resulted in wide open shots for Middleton.

So far, Khris Middleton is averaging 18.4 points per game on 45.3 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent from downtown. His performance in Game 2 is his best one yet.
It's been one hell of a year for the Texas A&M product. He was the 39th overall pick in 2012 by the Detroit Pistons. After a year, he was sent to Milwaukee where he quickly found a home with a young and upcoming Bucks squad.
It wasn't until last year and this season where Middleton rose to the ranks as one of the top forwards in the league. Now, in the playoffs, Middleton is showing everyone that there's a whole lot of talent in his sleeve.
