The Milwaukee Bucks forced game seven in their first round play-off clash against the Boston Celtics after a 97-86 win at BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 31 points and 14 rebounds for the home side, who will now head to Boston for a decider on Saturday after being 2-0 down in the series.
The Bucks trailed 24-22 after the first quarter but edged ahead 38-37 in the second thanks to an Eric Bledsoe lay-up and would not trail again, opening up a 14-point lead in the third.
Boston got back to level terms at 61-61 but the Bucks closed out an ultimately comfortable win and another game will be needed to see who faces the Philadelphia 76ers in round two.
