Ja Morant Lame After Injury in Game 3 Against Golden State (From Twitter)
Yannis Antocompo and Jason Taitum know: Tonight's seventh game (Sunday, 10:30 p.m.) between Milwaukee and Boston will be an important chapter in the new rivalry that is emerging between the two.
After the huge duel in Game 6, in which Taitum sniped 46 points and Yannis reached 44, the United States is looking forward to tonight's game, which may be a critical juncture in each of their careers.
Antocompo may have already won the championship last season, may have already been crowned MVP twice, while proving in the last two years that he is probably the best player in the world today, but knows that qualifying for the Eastern Conference finals at the expense of strong Boston conditions will further strengthen his position;
Taitum may have ousted Kevin Durant and Brooklyn in a sweep, although he has already shown exemplary ability on both sides of the court in the first round and has shown that he winks from special material in previous playoffs, but has not yet passed a high hurdle like the one set by Yannis and the reigning champion.

"See in their style of play that he's the most natural matchup there is. Yannis admired Magic Johnson and Kevin Garnett in his youth, while Taitum tried to emulate Kobe Bryant. But that doesn't really change the fact that this is probably the next big rival of the East, Maybe of the entire NBA, "ESPN noted.
"If you've watched the games between the two so far, there's no way you will not want to see more and more of it. It's too early to estimate and predict how many more they will meet in the playoffs in the future, but the figures are clear: "And it seems that they are planning their future in those teams. The winner of tonight's game will feel that he has won the whole pot, the loser will be broken - and will wait for the next meeting. What more can a basketball fan ask for?"
NBC is also excited about the star clash tonight, and the series in general.
"It's hard to remember the last time Boston was part of such a rivalry, which included two superstars before their climax. The rivalry between Taitum and Yannis may become the contemporary version of Russell vs. Chamberlain. That's what the rivalry between Paul Pierce and LeBron James looked like in the beginning," they wrote.
"It will be great to follow this rivalry over the years, and see how it develops, how each of them develops and changes. The result in Game 7 tonight will be almost marginal in relation to the real story. Too bad one of them will have to lose, but even those who go home will remember "It is also the beginning of a legendary rivalry."
