Finale
The Milwaukee Bucks are strolling into the playoffs with more confidence than this team has had since the last time Milwaukee qualified for the playoffs. This team likely has a lot more swag than that team did, actually.
Those Bucks limped into the postseason after losing their best player, Brandon Knight, at the trade deadline. These Bucks seem poised to gallop into the postseason, although there are a lot of games left to play.
This one against the Hawks is important for playoff seeding, and it’ll be a test of sorts for Milwaukee. The Bucks have gotten up for and beaten some good teams–can they take care of business at home against these wounded Atlanta Hawks?
