Tuesday, July 6
Suns take Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
- Frank Kaminsky (Benet/Suns)- 4 minutes and +0 in a 118-105 win over the Bucks. He entered with 8:24 seconds to go in the second quarter before exiting with 4:31 left in the half. He didn’t record a stat so all he did was run around for 4 minutes (Yes, and no).
