Suns to test mettle down 3-2 in Finals

PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns like to believe they're a resilient bunch. Now is one of their few chances this season to prove it.

The Suns will be facing an elimination game for the first time in this postseason when they travel to Milwaukee for Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight. Phoenix won the first two games of the series before the Bucks rallied to win the next three, including Saturday night's thrilling 123-119 victory in Game 5.

It's the first time since January that the Suns have lost three straight games.

Down 3-2 in the NBA Finals is never an ideal situation, especially on the road. But Phoenix center Deandre Ayton said there's nothing left to do but embrace the current scenario.

"Tables are turned now," Ayton said. “They're up and now we got to go get it. That's why it's a little bit more fun."
