Giannis with career-high 23 boards
The Milwaukee Bucks failed to get to a 3-0 lead over the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals mainly because of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s rather ineffective offensive display as he ended the tilt with just 12 points. However, the Greek Freak recorded career-high 23 rebounds.

Leonard is not giving up
The Portland Trail Blazers suffered a home defeat to the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals and are now down 3-0, but Meyers Leonard insists the group will not give up without a fight.
"We could easily just say ‘Well, we’re down 0-3, no one else has ever done it why not just get to the summer.’ But that’s not who we are. That’s certainly not our mindset. ..We’re gonna come out tomorrow night & we’re gonna fight" –@MeyersLeonard11 pic.twitter.com/0lb8uxPCLk
