NBA fans were left breathing a sigh of relief after an astonishing play from Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> made up for an egregious no-call on Devin Booker which would have seen him fouled out of the game, as the Bucks tied the NBA finals against Phoenix 2-2.<\/p>\n

Bucks star Khris Middleton scored 40 points, including 10 straight down the stretch to send Milwaukee past the Suns 109-103 and tie the series.<\/p>\n

Middleton's hot hand and a big block from Antetokounmpo – which proved a momentum-swinging dagger late in the game – gave the Bucks their second straight victory in what was the first close game of the series.<\/p>\n

\"Giannis'<\/p>\n

But it was almost not to be when Booker, who had caught fire, was spared a foul call that would have had him kicked out of the game when he wrapped up Jrue Holiday on a fast-break layup.<\/p>\n

The NBA world was left in disbelief, as many rushed to Twitter to vent their frustration with repeated inconsistency issues plaguing the league this series.<\/p>\n

Booker would finish the night with 42 points for the Suns, but his foul trouble cost them a chance to build a big lead in the second half.<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo finished with 26 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. His streak of 40-point games ended at two but the only number that matters for the Bucks is on the series scoreboard.<\/p>\n
