Phoenix were impressive during their victory over Milwaukee in the series opener and Giannis Antetokounmpo is probably the only man who can stop them
There is an axiom that a playoff series does not truly begin until one team wins on the road. And that, for the most part, is true. Yet you could be forgiven for watching Phoenix’s 118-105 home victory over Milwaukee on Tuesday night and wondering if the Suns’ coronation is already a done deal.
As always with these things, it was the manner of the result rather than the result itself.
