The Nets couldn't do a thing to stop the alley-oop play. After expertly reading and intercepting the pick-and-roll play, Bledsoe just had to run alongside Antetokounmpo and when the right time comes, toss it up in the air. The Greek Freak already knew what to do with the ball.

After all, they've executed the play dozens of times already. Bledsoe knows how much mustard he needs to put into the pass for it to reach Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak, meanwhile, knows when to jump just in time to meet the ball at its highest peak.
Indeed, Antetokounmpo and Bledsoe's chemistry is one of the reasons why the Bucks are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. They entered the game with a 38-13 record for first in the East. Out of the last 10 games, they've won nine.
They have certainly proved that the Bucks will be the team to look out for in the playoffs. And the Bledsoe-Antetokounmpo connection will be their bread and butter.
