Follow Us
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.
