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.
