Milwaukee, US, June 17 (EFE).- Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a total of 68 points between them to take the Milwaukee Bucks to a decisive 104-89 win over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The win on Thursday ensured the series heads into a decider.

Middleton played his one of the best offensive games to put up a double-double of 38 points and 10 rebounds along with five assists and five steals.

Antetokoumpo also registered a double-double of 30 points and 17 rebounds along with three assists.
