NBA Finals Suns-Bucks: "We're Not About To Start This Scott Foster And CP3 Madness" ESPN's Kendrick Perkins Says After Game 3

The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

ESPN's Kendrick Perkins sent out a Tweet after Game 3 of the NBA Finals about the Milwaukee Bucks winning and insinuating the Bucks won fair and square over the Phoenix Suns despite Chris Paul's long-standing history with Scott Foster (who reffed in Game 3).  

The Tweet from Perkins can be seen embedded below.

We’re not about to start this Scott Foster and CP3 madness! The Bucks earned that win tonight and it had NOTHING to do with the officiating. Giannis DOMINATED, Middleton and Holiday showed up and PJ Tucker made winning plays that didn’t show up the stats sheet. Carry on...

The Bucks beat the Suns 120-100 in Game 3.

Paul's teams are now 0-12 in their last 12 playoff games when Foster is the referee (see Tweet below from StatMuse).
