PHOENIX (AP) El bal\u00f3n pas\u00f3 de Chris Paul a Devin Booker y no dej\u00f3 de moverse hasta que Deandre Ayton anot\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de que todos los jugadores de los Suns lo tocaran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La secuencia de 10 pases fue la jugada m\u00e1s bonita de las Finales de la NBA y el tipo con el que los Bucks no pod\u00edan so\u00f1ar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abDe hecho, hablamos de esa jugada justo despu\u00e9s del partido, Mikal (Bridges) y yo, y \u00e9l dijo: ‘Creo que fue lo m\u00e1s emocionado que he estado despu\u00e9s de una jugada'\u00bb, dijo Booker. \u00ab Y yo estaba como, yo tambi\u00e9n \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imag\u00ednese la sensaci\u00f3n si su equipo obtiene dos victorias m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker anot\u00f3 31 puntos, Paul tuvo 23 y los Suns vencieron a Milwaukee 118-108 el jueves por la noche para tomar una ventaja de 2-0 en la serie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Suns nunca han estado m\u00e1s cerca de un t\u00edtulo de la NBA. No est\u00e1 mal para un equipo cuyo entrenador les dijo a principios de esta temporada que ten\u00eda la unidad titular m\u00e1s triste de la liga, lo que oblig\u00f3 a los jugadores a resolver las cosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLo hicimos y vamos a seguir as\u00ed\u00bb, dijo Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker acert\u00f3 siete triples y los Suns se fueron 20 de 40 detr\u00e1s del arco. Bridges anot\u00f3 27 puntos y Paul termin\u00f3 con ocho asistencias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Suns se adelantaron al final de la primera mitad, resistieron el esfuerzo total de Giannis Antetokounmpo para traer de regreso a los Bucks y se alejaron de los ganadores nuevamente mientras los fan\u00e1ticos balanceaban toallas naranjas a su alrededor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antetokounmpo tuvo 42 puntos y 12 rebotes en su segundo juego de regreso despu\u00e9s de perderse dos juegos debido a una rodilla izquierda hiperextendida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Suns ni siquiera tuvieron ventaja en las Finales de la NBA hasta su victoria 118-105 en el Juego 1. Perdieron los dos primeros juegos en 1976 y 1993, sus \u00fanicas otras apariciones, y no ganaron m\u00e1s de dos juegos en ninguna de las series. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya tienen dos esta vez y buscar\u00e1n una tercera el domingo en Milwaukee, que albergar\u00e1 las Finales de la NBA por primera vez desde 1974.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHOENIX (AP) The ball went from Chris Paul to Devin Booker and didn’t stop moving until Deandre Ayton scored after every Suns player had touched it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10-pass sequence was the prettiest play of the NBA Finals and the kind the one-man show Bucks couldn’t dream of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbWe actually talked about that play right after the game, me and Mikal (Bridges), and he was like, `I think that was the most pumped I’ve ever been after a play,\u00bb’ Booker said. \u00bbAnd I was like, me too.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine the feeling if his team gets two more wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker scored 31 points, Paul had 23 and the Suns beat Milwaukee 118-108 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 series lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Suns have never been closer to an NBA title. Not bad for a team whose coach told them earlier this season had the league’s sorriest starting unit, forcing the players to figure things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbWe did and we’re going to keep it going,\u00bb Paul said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker made seven 3-pointers and the Suns went 20 for 40 behind the arc. Bridges scored 27 points, and Paul finished with eight assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Suns surged ahead late in the first half, withstood Giannis Antetokounmpo’s all-around effort to bring the Bucks back, and walked off winners again as fans swung orange rally towels all around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antetokounmpo had 42 points and 12 rebounds in his second game back after missing two games because of a hyperextended left knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Suns never even had a lead in the NBA Finals until their 118-105 victory in Game 1. They dropped the first two games in both 1976 and 1993, their only other appearances, and didn’t win more than two games in either series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve already got two this time and will go after a third Sunday in Milwaukee, which will host the NBA Finals for the first time since 1974.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
