Khris Middleton scored 40 points and the Milwaukee Bucks came back to beat the Phoenix Suns 109-103 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Milwaukee. Middleton outscored the Suns by himself 10-4 over the final two plus minutes to send the series back to Phoenix tied at two after the Bucks trailed the series 2-0. Giannis Antetokounmpo skied for a block on what looked to be a game-tying dunk from DeAndre Ayton with over a minute to go, and the two-time league MVP finished with 26 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. Devin Booker overcame foul trouble and scored 42 points in the loss. Pat Connaughton hit a crucial 3-pointer to give Milwaukee the lead with three minutes to go, and the Notre Dame alum finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.
