In what was yet another fitting game for an NBA Finals series, the stars from Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns descended on the floor in Phoenix for Game 5 on Saturday night. But Devin Booker’s 40-point game wasn’t enough as the Suns were handed a 123-119 loss by Bucks, and the series tipped in favor of Bucks 3-2.

In what was a roller-coaster of a game, the Suns took a 16-point lead in the first quarter to eventually see the Bucks erase that and take lead going into halftime. Bucks outscored Suns in the middle two quarters 79-53, effectively handing a 10-point cushion to the visitors going into the last.
