A portentruous game in the association's Finals tonight in the Valley. Phoenix, up one game to nil, lead Milwaukee 110-99 with 1:58 to play. Win, and then looks exceedingly probable now and the "Suns" will take a 2-0 lead in games in the first to four series, forcing Milwaukee to "hold serve" by winning both in Beer Town in the next installment.

There is a local Miami angle to this Finals, a tale of two who got away. Jae Crowder, essential clog in the "Heat"'s bubbly run to the Finals last year got a better offer from Phoenix and left the "Heat." He is now essential clog in the PHX run that looks like it will be two wins short of its first NBA title in a few moments. And Justise Winslow was selected over "Sun's" young star Devin Booker in the 2015 draft.
