The Milwaukee Bucks rallied through an incredible flurry from the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night to make it 17 consecutive wins.

A 13-point winning margin certainly doesn’t tell the full story of the Milwaukee Bucks’ win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.

With Eric Bledsoe leaving the game early through injury, Giannis Antetokounmpo being forced to deal with foul trouble, and Jaren Jackson Jr. putting together one of the most explosive three-point shooting runs any Bucks team has ever been confronted with, there was a spell when the win streak seemed certain to be coming to an end.

An incredible fourth quarter changed that, though, giving the Bucks their 17th consecutive win, and making this the outright second best run the franchise has ever seen.

That fourth quarter turnaround was built on the individual brilliance of Antetokounmpo, a phenomenal stretch of switching defense, and a wider look at the remarkable resolve this Bucks team pairs with their stellar on-court exploits.

With that in mind, let’s dive into Friday’s game and some of the key takeaways from a thrilling game in Memphis.
