Bucks beat Hawks, head to NBA Finals for first time since 1974

Game 1 between the Bucks and Suns will be in Phoenix on Tuesday night

EASTERN KINGS: The Milwaukee Bucks hoist the trophy after defeating the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals in the NBA basketball playoffs and advancing to the NBA finals against the Phoenix Suns

The two NBA regular-season games this season between Milwaukee and Phoenix fit the same script. Both were extremely high scoring. Both went down to the wire. Both saw Phoenix win by a single point, with a free throw by Devin Booker ending up as the game winner each time.

There was also this: Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn’t be guarded in either game.
