NBA playoffs: Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors preview and tips
Eastern Conference finals Game Three
TV: Sky Sports Arena, midnight Sunday
Milwaukee lead series 2-0
Milwaukee Bucks have had the measure of Toronto Raptors in their first two Eastern Conference finals and they can keep the run going as the series moves to Canada on Sunday night.
The Bucks came out of the blocks a little rusty in Game One, having had a week off after wrapping up their semi-final series against Boston in just five games.
But they produced a strong finish to win the opener 108-100 and made light work of beating the Raptors in Game Two, racing into a 35-21 lead in the first quarter and holding a 64-39 half-time advantage before winning 125-103.
The way this series is going the Bucks may get another rest before the NBA Finals - they have never lost a playoff series on the 13 occasions they have gone 2-0 up (and Toronto have won none of the previous seven in which they went 2-0 down).
The Raptors will hope a home crowd can give them the lift they need to turn it around - they went 32-9 at home in the regular season - but Milwaukee's bench have looked great and they look worth backing as road underdogs to make it 3-0.
