The Milwaukee Bucks outshined the Phoenix Suns in all of Game 3 and got one step closer to tying the series in the NBA Finals. This win was vital for the Bucks to keep their dream of winning a championship for the first time since 1971. However, the stakes to win this series are even higher for the Suns’. They are looking to get the franchise their first title ever. And although they lost Game 3, the Suns’ Chris Paul putting the moves on Giannis in the fourth quarter was the highlight.

Chris Paul tried to keep the game close

The Phoenix Suns trailed almost the entirety of the game as the Milwaukee Bucks offense kicked off with their trio dropping buckets left and right. Phoenix’s consistent lead scorer Devin Booker wasn’t at his best, as he finished the night with a meager 10 points.

If it wasn’t for Cp3, DeAndre Ayton, and Jae Crowder, who picked up the slack, the game would have ended in a worse condition. In fact, Chris Paul was their top scorer with 19 points and even schooled Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo with his moves.

The Milwaukee Bucks inches away from a tie

As long as Giannis gets support on the offense, they have a shot at tying the series in the upcoming game. Unless Booker comes alive in Game 4 and doesn’t let the Bucks get their hands on another win.

Both the teams have a lot to lose but a lot to prove in this series. Being the underdogs, they weren’t the top team on anybody’s list to reach the NBA Finals, but here they are.

And now, while Milwaukee will be looking to end their championship drought, the Suns are hoping to create history with their first title.

Will the Suns tank the comfortable lead they got through their first two wins? Or will this just be a lucky night for the Bucks that won’t come again? Only time will tell.
