"Milwaukee looks like they invented the game," he declared, offering a special shout-out to Khris Middleton for his dazzling 17-footer that catapulted the Bucks to a commanding 13-point advantage.
Trying to keep a straight face, host Jason Benetti couldn't resist probing Walton with the question, "What's making them look like James Naismith tonight?"
Without missing a beat, Walton unloaded his basketball wisdom: "Ball movement, crisp attack, shots going down... Get the ball to somebody ready to attack."
But wait, the drama didn't stop there. Hold on to your seats as Denver orchestrated a jaw-dropping 12-0 run to close out the quarter, turning the game on its head. Now, that's what you call a basketball rollercoaster, right? 🏀💥 Get ready for more thrilling hoops action!
