NBA Finals wager: Phoenix mayor pays up with tortillas, beer, more
MILWAUKEE - It was time to pay up – and the mayor of Phoenix did just that.
Prior to the start of the NBA Finals, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego made a friendly wager on the outcome of the championship. In the end, the Milwaukee Bucks came back from a 2-0 deficit to the Phoenix Suns to win the championship in six games – meaning it was time for Phoenix mayor to pay up.
