that first quarter, it looked like the bucks were going to get blown out. but the bucks responded with 43 points - the second most by a team in a finals quarter in the last 35 years.

Yeah PHX played very well. Just came down to Bucks making plays here and there that was the difference.

Well it was a lot more than that. They adjusted some sets on offense that got more spacing and movement. Letting Holiday facilitate the offensive was really important

Someone brought up that Tucker was huge on that Holiday steal. Booker I read does not like going to the left and Tucker forced him to go left which let Holiday come from behind and rip it away.

Not sure letting 32 in a qtr is not the best D.

Well when 80% of their shots were contested yeah that’s good defense. Maybe 2-3 open looks for Crowder, 1 for Bridges, rest just better offense

they were on fire. everything they tried worked. i thought it was going to be one of those nights. the bucks really turned it around in the second quarter.
 
Big thing now is still remember all gas no breaks. PHX is back against the wall with nothing to lose and everything to gain. They will come out game 6 hard.

They came hard in game 5. Their issue right now is they don’t have a secondary option after Booker. Paul is not healthy either. It’s not getting a lot of discussion but losing Saric really impacted them
 
Amazing game. The Bucks looked like they were about to lose by 40, out the gate. You could even see a cockiness in the Suns. One, who'd already learned what happens to you when you go there (Booker), wasn't going to visit that again.

I know the Suns shot extremely well. But, the Bucks won. Did the Bucks defense fail? Absolutely not. They made key stops when they had to make key stops. You can't stop the radar directed shots that Booker and others were putting up. You stop those that you can control, and you make their offense "uncomfortable," by pressuring the ball on the outside.

I think they all played well last night to be honest. There were the occasional bad decisions, but by and large, they hustled, and conceded nothing. That 2nd quarter was pure guts! Bud's adjustments (Okay! I said it!), and the way the players adapted to the changes was amazing.

I think they win game 6 in Milwaukee, because they don't want to trust having a game 7. Also, home cooking, and that will give them the edge.

Don't be surprised if the Suns win though. And, at the same time, don't be surprised if the Bucks blow them out by over 20. It all depends on how hot the Bucks are early. They can demoralize teams when they can't miss early.
