These Milwaukee Bucks just won’t, either. Antetokounmpo had 41 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in the NBA Finals’ return to Milwaukee, and the Bucks pounded Phoenix 120-100 on Sunday night, cutting the Suns’ lead to 2-1. With two straight 40-point games in the NBA Finals, he’s halfway to Michael Jordan’s record — set against the Suns. The Bucks are seeking their second NBA title and hadn’t even played for one in 47 years. Bucks: Antetokounmpo had his 11th game with 30 points and 10 rebounds, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1974 for most by a Bucks player in one postseason.
