Finale

If the Suns wait at least one more game to realize how beneficial three-point shooting can be, the Bucks should have a pretty good shot at winning on Saturday night. The top scenario for Milwaukee losing is obvious.

Revenge games are always fun, and it could be argued Milwaukee ruined Brandon Knight’s life by sending him to the basketball hell that Phoenix has been for him. If there was ever a time for Knight to remind people of why he won me over two years ago in his last Bucks season, this would be the game.

Rebounding will play a crucial role in this game, as will defense. Neither of these teams has been very good defensively (or offensively) this season, but somebody has to win this game, right?
