Didn't see the Bucks win game 3, but they don't look to be playing any smarter. Giannis struggling early, Nets up 3 after one. Bucks go on a 19-2 run, Tucker the main catalyst. Irving goes off injured, Bucks up 5 at the half. Bucks defense coming alive, stopping Durant and get out to a big lead. Durant made up some of the deficit late in the quarter though. Middleton looks inspired by Tucker's competitiveness, upping his game and hitting a tough 3 to end the 3rd. Giannis is putting up big numbers, but taking plenty of unnecessary bad shots and missing at the line. Durant frustrated by Tucker and the Bucks defense. Bucks win it and tie up the series 2-2, who knows whether Irving or Harden will be available for game 5. The Bucks getting big contributions from role players in Tucker and Connaughton. The shooting by both teams not great, the Bucks active defensively with steals and blocks and the Nets with corresponding turnovers. Middleton with 19 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Giannis 34 points and 12 boards. Tucker three 3's. Connaughton 4 steals, 2 blocks. Durant 28 points, 13 boards.
