CGTN Sports Talk EP80 NBA Finals Game 2.mp3
00:00
The Phoenix Suns are leading the Milwaukee Bucks 2-0 after the first two games at home in the NBA Finals. Though they are going to Milwaukee for two straight road games and may be without two of their regular players, many still consider the Suns to be the championship favorites.
By contrast, the Bucks are only one loss away from the 3-0 abyss – a place no team has ever crawled back from to win an NBA playoff series. Giannis Antetokounmpo did everything he could in Game 2, but the Suns answered every move the Bucks made on the court.
