MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledges there is pressure in the NBA playoffs and after the winning the first title, “your mind wants to win a second time or a third time.” He likes to compare playing basketball to creating a work of art. Antetokounmpo produced a masterpiece his last time on the playoff stage by scoring 50 points in a Game 6 victory over the Phoenix Suns that gave the Bucks their first championship in a half-century.  Antetokounmpo and the third-seeded Bucks begin a quest for their second straight title when they face the sixth-seeded Chicago Bulls in an Eastern Conference first-round series starting Sunday in Milwaukee.
