PJ Tucker looks to continue incredible streak in Bucks vs Suns NBA Finals
Ahead of the 2020-21 season, Bucks had one major priority, defensive additions to the side. While Jrue Holiday headlined the new additions, veteran PJ Tucker was a much needed piece. Tucker has come up pretty big for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks in the post-season. Replacing injured guard Donte DiVencenzo in the starting five, Tucker has added some much needed physicality to the side.
His incredible defense coupled with the Bucks all-round play, the Bucks have steamrolled past the Heat, Nets and the Hawks. One thing was common among these teams, all these teams had a former Houston Rockets’ member. Beating the likes of Trevor Ariza, Clint Capela and James Harden, Tucker has beaten his former Rockets teammates in all the three rounds.
