To be fair the refs made the right decision there and am just surprised they missed the Tucker foul beforehand.
They did make the right call but couldn't hear much of anything! The trailing ref called the Giannis foul but they didn't hear or see the whistle from the play behind them.

Suns start 14-19 from the field and 5-6 from three. Milwaukee with 7 turnovers in the first quarter.

Scorching start by the Suns. Bucks have to just chip away and try to get it under double-digits by HT.

CP3 hasn't showed up yet this game, he'll need to step up
He wasn't that bad so far imo. He has 9 pts and 6 assists on 50% shooting. The thing is... he only played 14 minutes, Johnson played more.

He even sent Holiday early on the bench with those 2 fouls.

Bucks can't miss! Good defensive by the Suns for the most part, but not quite good enough. Expecting a response by Phoenix, but much better flow and higher level of performance this game.

He's too passive and not taking control of the game. His stats look decent but he's not been playing like how he can so far.

We need to step up the pace and get everyone else going, not just Booker.

Agree with that. Better than in last game, but overall and since game 2 he has been underwhelming and way too passive.

Other then that, the Suns problem is that atm they can't stop anything on the defensive end while the ball isn't moving enough in the attack.

Booker needs to get back to using picks to get Jrue off of him, he clearly can't score on him.

Not sure Suns can get enough stops on defense to give themselves a chance to make a run.

Bucks are moving the ball extremely well on offense, getting into the paint too easily, and are knocking down a lot of their jumpers.

Yup suns need stops right now. Can't give up easy lay ups. Make them take contested jumpers.

This is by far the best game of the series. Impressive shooting by both teams, more so the Bucks. Defense has been good but shooting has been incredible.

Yet, Suns have a chance!
