Feeling hot from three

Living from the 3-point line will always be a core element to the Bucks’ identity under head coach Mike Budenholzer. And recently, the Bucks have been on quite the roll hitting their many 3-point looks.

Milwaukee has fully rebounded from their shooting struggles from their recent West coast trip and they’re on five straight games where they’ve hit 10 or more triples.

Since returning from the road, Milwaukee has regained their 3-point efficiency and then some as they’ve hit over 40 percent from downtown over their last three wins. In fact, their 128-123 win over the Boston Celtics served as their most efficient outing from deep in a single game this season where they went from 16-for-31 from that range of the floor.

The improved shooting they’ve seen from the likes of Donte DiVincenzo and Kyle Korver this month, along with the dependable marksmanship they’ve gotten all season long from George Hill and Khris Middleton, have been critical to this ongoing uptick throughout this winning streak.
