When asked during his Tuesday media availability about the challenge of defending Giannis Antetokounmpo, Suns star Chris Paul explained that the game plan is simple, but not easy.
"We're going to keep trying to build a wall," Paul said.
That wall certainly didn't exist in Game 3, as the two-time NBA MVP scored an efficient 41 points in the Bucks' 120-100 win. Antetokounmpo did most of his damage inside, scoring 28 points in the paint alone. But he knows the offense may not come as easy in Game 4 with Phoenix focused on preventing him from getting to the rim.
"It is a compliment that there's got to be three people in front stopping me from getting in the paint and building that wall. But, yeah, I hate it, though," Antetokounmpo said on Tuesday. "I'm not going to lie. I hate it. But at the end of the day, you got to figure out a way to play through it."
Will Antetokounmpo and the Bucks even the series at two games apiece? Or will the Suns take a commanding 3-1 lead?
