AP PHOTOMILWAUKEE: Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks made the NBA Finals' return to Milwaukee a slamming success. Antetokounmpo had 41 points, 13 rebounds and six assists and the Bucks pounded Phoenix 120-100 on Sunday (Monday in Manila), cutting the Suns' lead to 2-1. The first NBA Finals game in Milwaukee since 1974 went to the home team in a romp, with Antetokounmpo and the bigger Bucks overwhelming the smallish Suns to the tune of a 20-2 advantage in second-chance points.
