Bucks stopped trying to run any offense and made a drained Middleton trying to create his own shot. Suns meanwhile are running plays and got back into this game.

Good point.  Can't happen.

Meanwhile refs still refuse to call any fouls on Booker under 3 minutes.

The initial angle of the Jrue pass made it look like it was going in the 5th row. Could have ran some clock but getting points there was huge.

NBA reffing continues to baffle me.

Maybe it's because I only watch when we get to the finals?

I dunno

Wow, what a comeback to get ahead, and what a way to hold on even though Giannis couldn't make a FT.

Bucks won the hustle battle most of the night, and definitely down the stretch.

And this game was why getting Holiday was huge. He's had plenty of shooting woes, but he came through tonight, and the guy can just plain ball.

Get er done Tuesday, gentlemen!

This is why they made the trade.

One more to go.

What an amazing turn of events for Holiday when you consider Wed night. The guy was unbelievable in all facets of the game.  Drop the hammer Tues.

What a response after the first quarter. Held strong with a late Suns comeback and then making everything. Great win!

No doubt but they're in an excellent position to close the show.  Despite some late possession meltdowns and Giannis missing FT's this was a tremendous win.

Jrue is tough and smart as they come. Just a winner. His shooting is up and down, but so valuable.  What a performance, what a sequence to drive the dagger home tonight

We know he has had several brutal shooting games.  But  If you look at what he did tonight I actually think it was the best individual performance in the entire playoffs.

It’s up there.  Durant’s game 5 I think is still at the top though.

When you take into account what he did defensively I think you can make an argument for Holiday.  It seemed to me the only time Booker didn't score was when Holiday was checking him.  I'm curious what his defensive stats were tonight.

Connaughton was big again tonight and has been really solid all series.

Connaughton has earned his entire contract this postseason, and I will need to be reminded of this corrrct take over the next two years.

They weren't going to do this, but the refs should have reviewed that Giannis oop for a flagrant on Chris Paul.  Good thing Giannis is as strong as he is because that was a dangerous play by Paul.
