The Phoenix Suns have never been closer to an NBA title. Devin Booker scored 31 points, Chris Paul had 23 and the Suns beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-108 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 series lead. AdvertisementThe Suns never even had a lead in the NBA Finals until their 118-105 victory in Game 1. They’ve already got two this time and will go after a third Sunday in Milwaukee, which will host the NBA Finals for the first time since 1974. It adds up to the Bucks having to overcome a 2-0 deficit for the second time this postseason.
