Shake Milton's season has had its ups and downs from being the Sixers' sixth man to essentially being taken out of the rotation as the playoffs started and his minutes taken by the fan favorite rookie Tyrese Maxey. Though, Shake didn't let this shake his mentality and confidence as he came off the bench during the third quarter of Game 2 against the Hawks absolutely scorching hot. In just 14 minutes off the bench, Shake put up 14 points and hit 4 threes. These buckets were much needed in a tight game where the Sixers' bench put 0 points in the first half. The burst of scoring from Shake helped the Sixers secure a double digit win over the Hawks to tie the series up 1-1 before heading to Atlanta. One of the biggest issues the Sixers have faced so far in this series is the support from their bench players. If Shake can stay hot and consistently provide a spark off the bench, Sixers in 5!
I was in a camp of people that thought Doc was smoking crack for putting Shake in for more than 60 seconds. Thank god he did, Shake was a much needed spark off the bench.
