It looks like we’re in for a competitive Finals after all.
After a frustrating first eight quarters of the series, Giannis Antetekuonmpo and the Bucks turned in one of their most complete performances of the year on Sunday night, a 120-100 victory that effectively saved Milwaukee’s season. There will be no sweep. Chris Paul’s coronation is not imminent. As Game 4 looms on Wednesday, the Larry O’Brien Trophy is firmly up for grabs.
Game 1 featured an antsy Antetekuonmpo and a timid Bucks squad. The Suns sprinted to a 118-105 win to open the series, with Paul spending much of the second half torching every Milwaukee defender in sight.
