The Phoenix Suns have protected their home court with a 118-108 Game 2 victory against a Bucks team that repeatedly felt so close to stealing it. Here are a few takeaways from a game the Suns offense won, as much as the Bucks offense lost.
Devin Booker, definitely a superstar
The Suns found a way to score every time they had to, pretty much from the start. Mikal Bridges met Milwaukee’s early intensity with a few tough threes. Chris Paul snuck some huge mid-range pull-ups against a scheme that worked hard to take them away. The entire team, especially Deandre Ayton, scrapped on the offensive glass, corralled several 50-50 balls, and created critical second-chance opportunities.
