For the Milwaukee Bucks, there are reasons to be hopeful. Down two games to none, they are returning home to Fiserv Forum which has been a nonstop party, inside and out, throughout the postseason and they can lean on the adage that a series hasn’t begun until someone loses at home.
But the Phoenix Suns not only posted double-digit wins in both games at Phoenix to start the series, but as they head on the road they do so with the confidence of a team who has been there and handled it better than anyone.
