The Phoenix Suns will look to put their performance in the previous game behind them when they take on Milwaukee Bucks in game 4 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. The Suns lead the best-of-seven championship 2-1, but the Bucks will look to level scores on Thursday. The Bucks won game 3 with a commanding 120-100 scoreline.

The Bucks were led by a charged performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 41 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. The Suns guard Devin Booker, on the other hand, shot 3-of-14 for 10 points, both playoff lows.

The Suns, who are looking to win their first-ever NBA title, would look to make defensive adjusts to stop Antetokounmpo.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said that he expects big improvements from Booker.

“We’re expecting we’re going to have to be even better on him,” Budenholzer said. “We just got to be prepared for a really good Devin Booker going into game four.”

He said that the side would look to do well against Booker and Chris Paul.

Chris Paul, in his first NBA Finals at age 36, noted how the Suns have bounced back well after playoff defeats, winning nine in a row after suffering their only back-to-back defeats.
