NBA Finals: How To Watch Game 4 Of The Phoenix Suns-Bucks Series

PHOENIX, AZ — A battle for control of the 2021 NBA Finals will take place on the hardwood of Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum Wednesday night.

The hometown Bucks and Phoenix Suns will go toe to toe in the Cream City at 6 p.m. Arizona time (9 p.m. East), three days after Milwaukee rolled over the Suns, 120-100, in Game 3.

The best-of-seven game series is currently 2-1 in favor of the Suns, thanks to a pair of double-digit wins by Phoenix on its homecourt to open the finals.

Phoenix's good juju came to a crashing halt Sunday, thanks in large part to a one-sided second quarter, that saw the home side outscore the Suns, 35-17, setting the table for Milwaukee's 20-point victory.

Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was dominant in the rout, scoring 41 points with 13 rebounds and six assists, while teammates Jrue Holiday (21 points); Khris Middleton (18 points); and Brook Lopez (11 points) did enough to help the Greek forward carry the team forward.

Fast-forward 72 hours, and the two sides will meet again, with Phoenix looking to do anything it can to shake off a rusty, 9-for-31 shooting performance from behind the arc in Game 3.

Suns guard Devin Booker, who leads the team in scoring (27.0 points per game) during Phoenix's finals run, said no one in orange-and-purple is surprised by the Bucks' performance on Sunday.

"I said it after last game. This team's not going to give in. They're going to keep playing all the way through," Booker said. "So we have to bring that same effort that we had in the first two games and I think we'll be in good shape."

The task for Booker and company is to find a way to connect on the shootings that weren't falling on Sunday, while also cleaning up rebounds, after being out-rebounded, 47-36, in Game 3.

With all that said, here's what to keep an eye out for, ahead of Wednesday night's Game 4 of the NBA Finals:
