The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Atlanta Hawks 118-107 in Game 6 to clinch the Eastern Conference finals 4-2.

The Bucks, who will appear in their first NBA Finals since 1974, were led by Khris Middleton's 32 points.

"It's been a long journey," said Middleton, reflecting upon his time with the Bucks. "But it's been a great journey. It's been worth it. After winning 15 games in our first year here and seven years not making the playoffs, to the last two years thinking we had a chance and just didn't do enough and now we're here."

Middleton scored 23 points in the third quarter, making the third time he's scored more than 20 points in the third quarter during his playoff career. 

Jrue Holiday added 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists. 

"Khris is the heart of this team. I feel like Giannis is the soul of this team, and without them, man, we really wouldn't be here," said Holiday afterwards.

The Bucks will play the Suns in the NBA Finals, starting on July 6.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly "day-to-day" in the series.
