The Bucks won last night against the Suns by twenty points. Milwaukee came out strong which was nice to see. They did let Phoenix back in the game by jacking up a bunch of threes. Giannis scored forty-one points the second game in a row. Only Michael Jordan has more consecutive forty point games, with four. If Giannis scores forty plus in the next three games, he will beat MJ’s record. The Bucks went on a twenty to six run to close the first half and go into the locker room, with a fifteen point lead. They came out for the second half and Phoenix went on a run and cut it to four points. Jrue Holiday kept the Bucks in the lead, with timely three pointers.
Bobby Portis came in the game and gave good quality minutes when PJ Tucker got into foul trouble, and to give Giannis a break. Milwaukee got DeAndre Ayton in foul trouble and was able to lock down Devin Booker. Devin finished the game with only ten points and sat for most of the fourth quarter. Giannis hit thirteen of seventeen free throws. If he does that the rest of the series, there is no chance the Suns win another game. Middleton and Holiday both played well which we need from them.
The bottom line: Bucks win in six.
