The Milwaukee Bucks have burst the bubble and are peaking at the right time

The Bucks overcame a 12-point first half deficit to sweep the Heat with a 120-103 victory Saturday afternoon.

In his eighth season, with more experience to draw from – both in past playoffs and game-closing situations  – Antetokounmpo welcomes what is to come.

The Bucks clinched a playoff spot in winning their third in a row and taking the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Nets, who have lost three straight.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday were near unstoppable and accounted for 93 points in a 117-114 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.

More than a dozen former Bucks and Baltimore Bullets share their memories of the last championship for a Milwaukee major pro sports team.

Zora Stephenson embraced the moment but also wants to carry the torch and light a path for other women announcers.

The Bucks caught fire from outside and knocked down an NBA single-game record 29 3-pointers in a 144-97 rout of the Heat.

Jrue Holiday pestered Stephen Curry all game and had a hand in 28 points by the end of a decisive third quarter as the Bucks bounced the Warriors.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had a shot to force overtime following Jayson Tatum’s bank-shot 3-pointer but the reigning MVP missed his last free throw.
