Entering a pivotal Game 5, the Phoenix Suns are coming home a re-named arena with more questions about them than when they departed for Milwaukee after Game 2.
Three central questions will decide the Suns’ fate at home.
Can Phoenix stay out of foul trouble?
After putting Giannis on the free throw line 18 times in Game 2 and 17 times in Game 4, Phoenix held Giannis to just 8 free throw attempts, his lowest in any of the six games he’s played against the Suns this season and six below his average against Phoenix. Deandre Ayton committed just two fouls in Game 4, which is a huge step forward from his Game 3 foul trouble that essentially lost Phoenix the game, because no one else had any answers for the Greek Freak.
