MILWAUKEE – And now it’s a series.
The Milwaukee Bucks returned home to Fiserv Forum on Sunday night and took down the Phoenix Suns, 120-100, avenging two losses last week in the desert.
The victory is the Bucks’ first in the NBA Finals since 1974 and cuts the deficit in the series to 2-1, with a chance for Milwaukee to even it up on Wednesday night.
Milwaukee and Phoenix traded leads early on, but once the Bucks got a 10-point advantage in the second quarter — their biggest of the Finals so far — they never looked back.
The Finals’ return to Milwaukee also meant a chance for thousands of fans to pack the Deer District outside the arena.
“It’s awesome,” Gannon Huebner told our News 3 Now crew in Milwaukee. “I didn’t think there would come a day.”
Game Four is set for Wednesday night at 8 p.m. CT.
