The Milwaukee Bucks In an informal replay of last year’s finals, the Phoenix Suns prevailed 132-122, as Chris Middleton with an excellent performance reached 44 points.
In the press conference o John Antetokounmpo was asked about his choice to stay on the floor in the last three minutes with the five fouls already completed and pointed out that it is a matter of competition.
«Of course I had five fouls, but there were three minutes left for the end. An possession can change the flow of the match; a two-pointer, a three-pointer can give confidence to the opposing team. I knew Cam Payne was going to lay-up and I tried to stretch as much as I could to stop him. At the end of the day you have to be competitive, even if you have five fouls you want to be in the game. I am not going to let anyone score an easy nailing and give rhythm to the opposing team“, Stressed the Greek NBA superstar.
In the end, he was asked about the foul on DeAndre Eaton and his dismissal from the match: “When I was with DeAndre Eaton under the basket, in my opinion the foul was right even if I did not stay in the last minute of the match. I sent him (Eaton) to the charity line and forced him to test his ability“, Concluded the leader of the Bucks.
