After defending their home courts and splitting the series, the Suns’ home court advantage proved it wouldn’t be enough in Game 5. After almost making a comeback in the final moments of the game, Deandre Ayton said it will have to take “everything” to win it all. Game 6 on Tuesday will give the Suns the opportunity to tie the series and bring a Game 7 home to Phoenix. Until then, Twitter had some words on the nail-biting game.

Hate to say it, but that's probably the series. Only the 2nd time all season the Suns have lost 3 straight games.
Game 6 is now do-or-die in Milwaukee.

Giannis will be the MVP, but Middleton is the thermometer… If he's playing well, the Bucks are playing well.

that breakaway sequence was awesome because
1) it was a dead ball for like 5 seconds and it didnt count
2) Giannis was like "no free buckets"
3) Booker was like "the audacity"
4) the Phoenix Suns home crowd is if Burning Man had a Chili’s within walking distance pic.twitter.com/Bex2dQu1j8— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) July 18, 2021

Damn, that game…
Right after Jrue Holiday's rip from Booker and perfect lob to Giannis for the dunk, I texted someone, "ERIC. BLEDSOE. COULD. NEVER."
That 6-second stretch—not to mention his herculean effort all night—is EXACTLY why the Bucks got him.
Wow. Just wow.

The #Suns have prided themselves on being resilient all season. Understatement of the Year to say that is about to face the ultimate test. https://t.co/NJgJaFJPtu

So you need some good news, right? The Suns haven’t lost four straight games all season and only lost three straight games one other time this season. The Suns will aim to tie the series on Tuesday in Milwaukee in hopes of winning Game 7 at home.
