Milwaukee Bucks Daily: Bucks Look To Make Home Advantage Count
By Adam McGee
The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Milwaukee prepares to welcome its team home for Game 3.
In this edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we look ahead to the Bucks first two home games of their playoff series with the Toronto Raptors and the importance of making the most of home court.
The Bucks’ win in Toronto ensured they’d stolen home advantage away from their third seeded opponents, meaning that if they can just win their remaining games in Milwaukee they’ll advance to the second round as winners in six games.
With the next three days likely to shape the series’ final outcome, we’re here to keep you on top of all of the most important news surrounding the Bucks. Stick with us at Behind the Buck Pass in the coming days and we’ll guide you through whatever fate has in store for the Bucks.
