The Bucks, who concluded their series with the Boston Celtics in five games on Wednesday, will have a week off to rest, recover, and prepare on who'll they face next. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and crew, have proven that their 60-win regular season was not a fluke.
There were some doubts among analysts whether or not the Mike Budenholzer-led squad would be able to replicate their success in the postseason. So far, they've been doing good with just one loss in the entire playoffs.
The deciding Game 7 between the Sixers and Raptors will take place on Sunday in Toronto. In part to Joel Embiid's illness in the past few games, the Sixers have struggled to match against Kawhi Leonard and company. The Raptors, too, have failed to lend their hand to Leonard who had no choice but to carry the whole team on his back.
It would be interesting to see how all these elements will come into play come Game 7. Who will match up with the Bucks to claim the ticket to basketball's biggest stage, the NBA Finals?
