The “dog” at home with 118: 108 (26:29, 30:16, 32:33, 30:30) won the “Bucks”, doubling the lead in the series.
Devins Bukers scored 31 points in favor of the winners, won five rebounds and scored six times. The most productive play-off game of his career was played by Michal Bridges, who had 27 points and seven balls under the baskets, but another 23 points and eight passes for the inexperienced Chris Paul.
Jannis Adetokunbo responded on the other side of the court with 42 points and 12 rebounds, while Jru Hollidey scored 17 points, five balls under the baskets and seven assists.
The third game in the series, Milwaukee, is scheduled for Sunday, and the fourth – on Wednesday.
“We have a score of 0-0 in the series. We are preparing for each game last,” Bucker said after the victory.
At the end of the second quarter, the Dog hit with a 15: 4 shot, which allowed it to reach 56:45 at the end of the first half. In the third quarter, Adetokunbo scored 20 points in favor of the Bucks, which no one had done in the NBA Finals in the previous 25 years. This, however, did not prevent the “Dog” after three quarters to continue to maintain the lead – 88:78. Less than eight minutes before the end of regular time, the Bucks were close to 88:93, but Deander Eithon’s basket and two of Bucker’s long shots returned a bigger advantage – 101: 88.
Holide single-handedly recovered seven points in favor of the Bucks by the middle of the quarter, but Paul immediately threw a long shot, with the Dog being able to return to the lead with at least +8, which his opponents could no longer play.
The Dog has not yet won the NBA Finals, but the Bucks are looking to win their first trophy in 50 years.
At the end of the third quarter, “Dog” player Tory Craig was injured in the right leg. The day before, “Suns” announced that Dario Šaričs had lived in the rupture of the knee ligaments.
In the NBA Main Event, the teams played 72 games this season, which is ten less than usual.
