For the first time since the days of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Milwaukee Bucks are headed to the NBA Finals.
The Bucks defeated the Atlanta Hawks 118-107 on Saturday to win the Eastern Conference finals in six games, despite missing Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) for the last two-and-a-half games. Milwaukee will now face the Phoenix Suns for their first championship since 1971.
Game 1 of the Finals is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, broadcasted by ABC.
In Antetokounmpo's stead, Khris Middleton upgraded from sidekick to hero.
