They actually did it! Without star Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee won twice against the Atlanta Hawks and triumphed in the Eastern Conference finals, 4-2, to earn its first NBA finals berth since 1974. Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss the magic of the moment, the Khris Middleton takeover, the success of Brook Lopez and Jrue Holiday, the remarkable contribution from Jeff Teague and how Milwaukee was able to overcome tepid 3-point shooting. But now, with Antetokounmpo's health still in question, can they negotiate the Phoenix Suns for the Larry O'Brien trophy?
