In predictable fashion, the Bucks won at home in Game 6 to force a deciding Game 7 in Boston on Saturday night. The home team has won every game in the series so there is no surprise the Celtics are 1:2 favorites to advance.
Milwaukee Bucks
Game 6 was pretty much just like Games 3 and 4. Giannis Antetokounmpo got pretty much where he wanted; Kris Middleton was the steady second option that he’s been the entire series; and Milwaukee’s role players outplayed Boston’s.

Before the series started, I wrote about how Milwaukee’s big advantage in the series was its speed. It has exploited that advantage at home, but back in Boston the Celtics have managed to keep the Bucks boxed into the half court most of the time.

Guys like Thon Maker and Eric Bledsoe have also been ineffective in Boston, primarily because they play off of their teammates. Bledsoe is at his most dangerous when he’s in the open court and if Milwaukee isn’t getting stops and run-outs, he isn’t a big threat.
Maker is strictly a catch-and-shoot guy on the offensive end. He plays with energy on the defensive end but doesn’t seem to have the same energy away from home.
Milwaukee gets a final shot at winning on the road and it should know that if it goes 0-for-4 in the Garden, it certainly doesn’t deserve to advance. It has to run, run, run if it wants a chance.
Boston Celtics
For Boston, the game plan remains the same. The Celtics will defend ferociously in the half court and look to run offensively, though not if it means giving Milwaukee the same chances the other way.
Jayson Tatum has been on and off in this series. He started Game 6 well and had Boston in front, or at least right there, but then faded down the stretch. At home, there’s a much better chance that he shows up and plays well in all four quarters.

But for two teams with limited offensive ability, the home crowd has meant the difference. Jaylen Brown isn’t at the level where he can walk into an opponents’ building and carry an offense.
Al Horford is playing his tail off but he has to be tired, much like the Greek Freak for the Bucks.
Which team will have more in the tank? I tend to think it’s Boston, even ignoring the home court advantage. With the crowd behind them, the Celtics should be able to dig deeper and win this game.

Milwaukee’s best chance was in Game 5 and it didn’t even come so close. The Celtics will wrap this up and host Philadelphia early next week in the conference semifinals.
