The Bucks are in charge of the series after claiming a 123-119 victory in Game Five which was played at Footprint Center in Phoenix, the USA on July 18.
All the Bucks need to do is win Game Six and they will win the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy which is named after former NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien.

They have been dominant since they lost their first two games in the Finals with the Suns taking a 2-0 series lead with two home victories.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 41 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, and the Bucks won 120-100 at home to cut Phoenix's series lead to 2-1 on July 10.

With the Bucks leading by one with about 16 seconds remaining in the game, Jrue Holiday stole the ball from Phoenix's Devin Booker and passed to Antetokounmpo for an alley-oop to secure the game for a Bucks' win and a 3-2 series lead.

Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks coach, is looking forward to Game Six with the team close to winning the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.
"Going home to our fans, going home to Milwaukee is a great opportunity for us," Budenholzer said.
"But you have to go out and play. It's at this point, you could feel it tonight, the high-level basketball on both sides of it. It's going to be the same in Game 6.
"Both teams are going to come out, expect really, really good basketball. We're going to have to compete defensively and we're going to have to make plays, play together. It's more about that."
