Raptors vs. Bucks in East final couldn’t be much closer

MILWAUKEE—The top two teams in the NBA, by regular-season record, hook up in a seven-game series to determine the Eastern Conference champion starting Wednesday night in Milwaukee.

The Bucks, 60-22 in the regular season, have not played for an NBA title since a six-game loss to Boston in 1974. The Raptors, 58-24, have never been further than a conference final, losing in six games to Cleveland in 2016.
