Chris Paul has once again carried his team to victory. Yesterday, the Phoenix Suns took home a 118-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, who had gotten their back-to-back MVP back, after a small injury in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
After scoring 41 points in the closing game of the Western Conference Finals, where he broke multiple records, such as being the fourth player in history to have scored 40+ points in a Conference Finals game without recording a single turnover, but also breaking his record for the most points he has ever scored in a half, at 31, in the second half of the WCF closing game, Chris Paul has once again been crucial to the Game 1 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Chris Paul ( bottom left ) recorded 32 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, with Devin Booker ( right ) adding up his 27 points. Deandre Ayton, in the middle, added 22 points and 19 rebounds. On Milwaukee’s team, the top scorer was Khris Middleton, who scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is coming back from a hypertension in his left knee, added 20 points and 17 rebounds. Jrue Holiday only added 10 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

The Milwaukee Bucks are strongly counting on the full recovery of their best player Giannis Antetokounmpo, who suffered a hypertension in his left knee, which led to him missing Game 5 and Game 6, the closing game, of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Atlanta Hawks. The Phoenix Suns, on the contrary, are in full health and have had more rest that the Bucks, since they finished the Western Conference Finals faster than the Bucks finished the Eastern Conference Finals. The Suns are, in my opinion, favoured to win the 2021 championship in 6 games, with Chris Paul being the NBA Finals MVP.
