On the NBA Finals podcast with Tony R:

#1 After the Phoenix Suns took the first two games of the Finals the bad news for them was they had to go to Milwaukee and the Bucks dominated on the home floor for games 3 and 4 with wins to tie up the series.

#2 The game Wednesday was a relatively close contest but in the third quarter it was the difference maker as the Bucks outscored the Suns by six 30-24 and won it by six 109-103.

#3 In game 3 the ball went to Giannis Antetokounmpo who scored 41 points, in game 4 a bit of a strategy this time the Bucks were feeding the ball to guard Khris Middleton who led with 40 points.

#4 It seemed like the Bucks really needed a big scorer to stay in it with the Suns and have really made a series out something that looked like the Suns were going to be in the drivers seat at the beginning.

#5 Tony, series is all knotted up at 2-2 going back to Phoenix where the Suns had the home floor to start games 1 and 2 this time with game 5 do you see the Suns having the home floor advantage or that all out the window seeing how the Bucks handled the Suns in games 3 and 4?
