Milwaukee Bucks: 3 keys to tying the NBA Finals against the Suns

Keys for the Milwaukee Bucks heading into Game 4: The continued dominance of the Greek Freak

In Game 3, Antetokounmpo scored 41 points to go along with 13 rebounds as he became the third player in NBA Finals history with back-to-back 40-point double-doubles joining Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James. Antetokounmpo also became the third player in Finals history with 28 points in the paint in a Finals game over the last 25 years.

Overall, he is shooting 79 percent inside the paint in the series as he is almost unstoppable whenever he attacks the basket. Antetokounmpo had 14 field goals in the restricted area in Game 3 as the Suns had only 14 total field goals in the paint as a team. He has been especially dominant in pick-and-roll situations as he is often able to switch onto a smaller defender which allows Antetokounmpo an easier path to the basket as he has excelled in this area.

Antetokounmpo also had a solid game from the free-throw line as he went 13-17 good for 77 percent. There was a lot of talk about his free throw shooting but he has made at least 50 percent of them in all three Finals games. Even though every point does matter, Antetokounmpo does more than his fair share in other areas and makes up for those missed free throws in other aspects of his game.
