Although the Bucks did not win all of their games this week, it was still a great week for Milwaukee. The team added a dynamic new scorer to come off the bench, something that was sorely needed in OJ Mayo’s absence. I called out Giannis Antetokounmpo for not playing as well since the All-Star Break as he was before and he responded with a career night (and he wasn’t the only Buck to have one of those this week).
And potentially most importantly, the Bucks got a huge win over a conference rival who just happens to be directly ahead of them in the standings. The Washington Wizards are the only thing stopping Milwaukee from moving into the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, which would make their playoff lives much easier.
But, enough playoff talk. There’s still plenty of regular season basketball left to go, and although they only played three games this week Bucks fans saw a lot of memorable action over the last seven days as well. As usual, let’s go through everything that’s happened, starting with the Bucks’ first game of their three-game homestand this week.
