But you won’t read about it in today’s early edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper. From the New York Times’s Shane Goldmacher:

Oh, well. There’s always the subscription-killing internet for such news, which is exactly what the NYT wants to happen:
Keep in mind, other Wisconsin papers did find a way to make sure this big story ended up on the front page:
It did make A1 of the State Journal and the Janesville Gazette.

And the paper did eventually catch up:

They also want you to buy a commemorative book about the season, we assume with the updated newspaper front page and not the original:
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is taking preorders for our 144-page hardcover book about the Milwaukee Bucks' historic season.
