The Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks will wage battle tonight in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. While the Suns are firmly in the driver’s seat, it’s too early to count out Milwaukee entirely. Giannis Antetokounmpo has put together great performance after great performance this postseason, and talent alone should keep the Bucks in the conversation — for now.
When it comes to the Philadelphia 76ers, these Finals are a bitter pill to swallow. The Sixers blew a golden opportunity to deliver on Joel Embiid’s best season yet, but a weak bench, poor coaching, and Ben Simmons’ historic meltdown led to another second-round exit.
