The Phoenix Suns hoped to return home with the chance of winning their first championship.

These thoughts were ended by Khris Middleton’s shots and Giannis Antookounmpo’s swat.

An NBA Finals that appeared very much under the Suns’ control when it left Phoenix last week returns to Arizona as a tossup.

To even things up, the Milwaukee Bucks won the previous two games. Game 5 is set for Saturday night.

Bobby Portis, Bucks forward, said that there are only two teams left in the league and they’re competing for the NBA championship on the largest stage. It doesn’t get much better than this.

In their previous two NBA Finals appearances, the Suns did not win more than two games. However, they were just a few minutes away in Game 4. Phoenix led by nine points in the fourth quarter, and they were still leading with two minutes left.

Middleton scored 10 consecutive Milwaukee points to make it 40. Antetokoumpo also blocked DeandreAyton at the rim with a lob pass, to keep the lead. The Bucks won a 109-103 victory.

Devin Booker, Suns All-Star, said, “Obviously that was a difficult, emotional loss for our team, but we move onto the next one.” “Next-game mentality is for us.”

The Bucks overcome a 2-0 deficit against Brooklyn in the second round and are now trying to be the fifth team to make it to the NBA Finals. This was five years ago, when Cleveland defeated Golden State.

First, the Bucks must show that they are capable of competing in Phoenix. Both their home games were won by the Suns by double digits.

Milwaukee was much more efficient in the two remaining games, making sure that it didn’t allow both Suns’ stars to get started at the same moment. Booker was forced to go 3-for-14 in Game 3. Chris Paul scored just 10 points and had five turnovers.

“Now, we are returning home. Paul stated, “We have to protect our home court.”

It’s so simple. We didn’t sweep any series so this is what happens in each series. They make it seven games. This is the finals. It’s thrilling. We had to defend our home court and win tomorrow’s game.

Paul reached the NBA Finals in his 16th season for the first-time. He started the games with 32 and 23 points, respectively. Although he has not been as active since, he said that he is feeling fine.

Monty Williams, Suns coach, said that “We know what’s ahead of us.” “You all know Chris Paul. I mean, everyone in this room has seen him. No one in our locker room expects him not to come out and play well in the next game.

The Bucks don’t care about their star. Antetokounmpo appears to have more than the hyperextended left leg that caused him to miss the Eastern Conference finals.

He was unable to match his 40-point performance in Games 2 and 3. However, he still managed 26 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists.

He will be remembered for his block , regardless of what happens in the remainder of the series. Antetokounmpo stated that he hadn’t seen the block again until Friday’s Bucks’ film session.

The two-time MVP stated, “I cannot explain it but at the end the day that’s the past.” Talking about the past is ego talk. It’s over with. I was able to move on. I had to continue making winning plays. I had to continue competing. I had to continue to find ways to help my team be great.”

The Bucks are looking for a second championship, to go along with the one Karem Abdul-Jabbar or Oscar Robertson won them 50 years ago. They might be able to do it at home in Game 6 Tuesday, provided that they can break through on the Suns home floor.

Bucks guard Jrue Holiday stated, “It’s going be a fight.” “But I believe both sides know the cost and have a goal. It’s up to you to let it go.”
