The surging Milwaukee Bucks took control of the NBA Finals and moved on the verge of their first title in five decades with a 123-119 victory over the host Phoenix Suns on Saturday, July 17 .

After dropping the first two games of the series, the Bucks have roared back to life with three consecutive wins and now lead the best-of-seven NBA Finals 3-2. Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose brother and teammate Thanasis was ruled out of the game due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, had a team-high 32 points.

Devin Booker scored a game-high 40 points for a Suns team that led by 16 points after the first quarter before the Bucks clawed their way back and held on as Phoenix's comeback bid fell short. Milwaukee is now one win away from clinching its first NBA championship in 50 years, while Phoenix remains two wins away from its first title in the team's 53-year existence.
