NBA Finals July 16th, Tips and Previews

Phoenix will be tasked with wrestling the series lead back when it heads back home to Phoenix Suns Arena against a Milwaukee Bucks team full of momentum.

It was rapturous scenes around Milwaukee as the Bucks squared the ledger at 2-2 following a six-point win at Fiserv Forum on Thursday.

The 109-103 result in favour of the Bucks was not without its fair share of controversy with Devin Booker counting himself lucky not to be fouled.

His game-high 42 points was enough to stop a rampaging Khris Middleton (40 points, six rebounds and five assists) from tearing apart the Phoenix defence.

Chris Paul was uncharacteristically poor with ball in hand.

The veteran guard caused several turnovers in what turned out to be his worst performance of the playoffs with his 10 points and seven assists well short of his playoffs average.

That was surely just a blip on the radar.

As we head into game five it might very well advantage to the Bucks.

However, as we have come to know this season, Phoenix almost always step up a gear at home.

The big danger here is if Giannis Antetokounmpo can increase his output from game three.

The Greek Freak still managed 26 points and 14 rebounds in the game four win but even he would know himself that he stil has more to offer.

This is going to tight.
