What channel is Bucks vs. Suns on today? Time, TV schedule for Game 2 of 2021 NBA Finals

Chris Paul waited 16 years for his NBA Finals moment, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he made his presence felt in Game 1.

The Suns star shredded the Bucks’ defense for 32 points and nine assists in his NBA Finals debut, leading Phoenix to a 118-105 win. Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer admitted that Paul is tough to guard in the pick-and-roll, but his team will have to put more pressure on the future Hall of Famer if it wants to avoid heading home down 2-0.

“I think we have to just keep getting better,” Budenholzer said after Game 1. “We have to keep looking at the film and see how we can maybe take away some of the rhythm, or make it where he’s not getting into his spots as easily. That will be a big part of looking between Game 1 and Game 2.”

Will Paul and the Suns continue their winning ways? Or can the Bucks steal Game 2 in Phoenix and even the series?

Here is everything you need to know to watch Bucks vs. Suns, including the tipoff time and TV channel for Thursday’s game.
