The Bucks got fouled a lot more than the Suns did. A huge part of that difference is.well, fouling. Much and more was made of the free throw disparity in this one the Bucks shot 37 attempts while Phoenix only tried 16. Milwaukee overcame a pretty bad outing at the foul line. That strategy works when you have capable midrange shooters like Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and even DeAndre Ayton.but the margin for error presented by this strategy is far thinner than one that actually leverages three-point shooting or shots at the rim. The Suns had every intention of sticking to their strengths in this one, by attacking the Bucks’ zone drop until space inside the arc presented itself, and then simply letting it fly. Don’t believe me? Check out the NBA.com shot chart. It’s not always so simple.but tonight, it was. Moreover, Milwaukee’s group of strong wings and guards (Jae Crowder, Wes Matthews, Pat Connaughton, and Jrue Holiday) make it so opposing teams simply get outmuscled more often than not. Quite frankly, this front court rotation is too light, too short, and too weak to compete with Brook Lopez (7’0”), Giannis Antetokounmpo (7’0”), and Bobby Portis (6’10”) for anything more than a short stretch. ![]()
