The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Russell Westbrook equaled Oscar Robertson‘s record for most triple-doubles in a season in a blowout win over the Bucks.

In this edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we’ll look at Tuesday’s abysmal Bucks loss and Russell Westbrook’s slice history, Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s Most Improved Player case, and Vin Baker‘s upcoming debut as a sideline reporter.

With a loss to the Thunder, Milwaukee missed a chance to virtually seal their playoff spot and to consolidate their advantage in fifth, but barring an incredible implosion in their final four games it still seems like a matter of when not if for the Bucks.

With that in mind, we’ll help you to prepare for the playoffs with all the most important Bucks news delivered to you bright and early each morning. This column provides a roundup of anything you might have missed from us at Behind the Buck Pass on the previous day, as well our picks of some of the best Bucks pieces from elsewhere online.
