Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over Philadelphia 76ers
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks are rolling, and have now won three straight after beating down the Philadelphia 76ers in Philly.
The Milwaukee Bucks are streaking! For just the fourth time all season Milwaukee has won three straight games after the Bucks beat down the Philadelphia 76ers with ease on Monday night.
Improbably, Milwaukee is hitting a stride after struggling to move forward earlier in the season. There are more and less obvious reasons for the strong play of late, and we’ll look at some of them as some of our takeaways.
The game itself was without much suspense, although it served as very necessary catharsis for Bucks fans. Milwaukee had lost twice to the 76ers already this season, and the Bucks had blown so many leads held on so many bad teams this season.

It was a refreshing change of pace to see Milwaukee handle business against a bad team without that terrifying moment where guys like Justin Anderson and Dario Saric lead a 20-point comeback and beat the Bucks.
The Sixers did outscore Milwaukee in the fourth quarter, but most of that was garbage time scoring. The Bucks won the first three quarters, held Philly to under 50 points at halftime and won 112-98.
A lot went right for Milwaukee. Let’s go through some of the biggest takeaways from a good night of Bucks basketball and see how this big win came to fruition, starting with an offensive trend that hopefully continues going forward.
