Dearly beloved, we gather here today to celebrate the meeting of two of the Eastern Conference’s top teams in a late-season Sunday matinee. The Milwaukee Bucks enter having completing an unbelievable comeback against the Miami Heat, and the Sixers arrive, um, wearing blue jerseys.
Bucks Update
If you were still waiting for the Bucks to add a signature win to their resume, I think you may have gotten it via Friday night’s 113-98 win over Miami. Per my colleague Andrew Goodman, that victory was the only time in franchise history Milwaukee was able to surmount a 20-point halftime deficit.
