The Eastern Conference Finals are underway, as the Milwaukee Bucks host the Toronto Raptors for Game 1 on Wednesday night. The contest tips off at 5:30 p.m. PT on TNT.
It’s a fascinating series between two teams who absolutely deserve to be there. Milwaukee finished the year with the best record and net rating in the league. Toronto wasn’t far behind, with the second-best record and third-best net rating.
Long story short: These teams are exceptionally good, and both are deserving of a spot in the NBA Finals, and a likely showdown with the Golden State Warriors.
