1971 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals

I am sorry if this is the wrong forum to post to but...

I was wondering who held home court advantage for the 1971 Western Conference Semifinals with the Milwaukee Bucks Vs. San Francisco Warriors. At the time, all series' were played in a 2-2-1-1-1 format.

For this series, because of scheduling conflicts the series started out played in San Francisco, followed by two games in Milwaukee, one game in San Francisco, and the series was won in 5 @ Milwaukee. The series started looking like this 1-2-1-1-?-?.

How was the series supposed to finish, 1-2-1-1-2 (San Fran Home Court Advantage)? 1-2-1-1-1-1 (Milwaukee Home Court Advantage)

Although Milwaukee had the better record, the team that usually starts the series is the team that usually holds home court advantage.

Thank you in advance!
