What a difference a game makes. After the first two games of the Finals, all the commentary was (1) the Bucks had no answer for the Suns’ offensive schemes and (2) the Bucks’ offense was incapable of scoring enough to support their one star, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Commentators debated whether Chris Paul or Devin Booker would be named Finals MVP after the inevitable Suns’ championship, perhaps via a sweep.
After Game Three, the commentary was a bit different. Some have even noted what I pointed out — the Suns’ hot shooting in Game Two, especially on three-pointers, was likely unsustainable.
