UNITED STATES – Milwaukee Bucks hit Khris Middleton’s shot down the stretch to claim a tough 109-103 win over the Phoenix Suns in Game 4 Wednesday night at the Fiserv Forum.
After losing the first two road games, the Bucks won two at home to tie the best-of-seven series at 2-2. The Finals return to Phoenix for Game 5 at 8 pm Saturday.
Middleton scored 40 points, including 10 in a row when the Bucks took control in the closing minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo added 26 points and 14 rebounds.
Phoenix guard Devin Booker led all scorers with 42 points. It was an odd start for the Bucks, with the Suns knocking down mid-range jump shots and rushing to a 10-4 lead.
As in Game 3, Antetokounmpo took an early breather, with Pat Connaughton coming in for the Bucks star at the 8:29 mark. Antetokounmpo returned 90 seconds later, but did not attempt a shot until he fell floating in the paint just over six minutes after the game started.
