NBA Finals: What to watch in Game 2 between Bucks-Suns
NBA Finals, Game 2 keys: Will Paul, Booker continue to control tempo?
In Game 1, Paul and Booker never seemed out of control offensively and never seemed pressured at all. The duo combined for 59 points, 15 assists, and six rebounds in the Game 1 win. If that continues in Game 2, it’s pretty clear that the Bucks are in serious trouble.
How will Milwaukee try to stop or at least contain Phoenix’s backcourt? Obviously, the bigs will have to do a better job in helping and clogging the paint but you’d also have to assume that Bucks coach Budenholzer should have some sort of defensive adjustment up his sleeve in Game 2.
If the Bucks are looking to punch back in this series, they’re going to need strong efforts all around. From the coaching staff to execute on the floor, a relatively healthy Suns team might be the biggest threat that this Bucks team has faced this postseason.
