NBA Finals game 3: Milwaukee Bucks look to stay alive against Phoenix Suns

Even though it seems that Milwaukee Bucks have been low on luck so far in the NBA finals against the Phoenix Suns, there is still room for a comeback for the Eastern Conference champions. Ahead of game number three of the NBA finals, the Suns have already secured two games for themselves, which means a two-game win further on in the series would mean they would be crowned the NBA champions. 

However, it seems a bit of pre-game advantage can be credited towards the struggling Bucks squad as they return to their home turf and will seek to close the gap between the score.

Both sides have key players who will be essential to push their teams to victory, and for Phoenix Suns, the performance of Mikal Bridges would be of high stakes. Bridges, who plays forward for the Suns, played a 27 point game against the Bucks in their previous showdown.

He said after game 2, “No matter what, our next game is our most important game. Just stay locked in. It is not over and we got to just got to keep playing our way”.

On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks will depend heavily on the gameplay of Giannis Antetokounmpo, which has been highly praised so far. The 26-year-old player registered a 42 point performance with a dozen rebounds.
