THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS. They would knock off the Phoenix Suns by a score of 105-98 to earn their first championship in 50 years.
The nerves were there for both teams to start this one. Within the first few minutes of play, it was clear that neither team could develop a strong shooting groove. However, the Bucks were able to take advantage enough and overcome their turnovers in the first. Through ten Giannis Antetokounmpo points and a pair of threes from Bobby Portis off the bench, Milwaukee overtook Phoenix in the opening 12 minutes and carried a 29-16 advantage into the second quarter.
