The Milwaukee Bucks continued their winning ways on French soil, beating the Hornets in Paris to pick up their 40th win of the season.

It was a landmark night for the Milwaukee Bucks in Paris as they overcame some moments of struggles to pick up a win against the Charlotte Hornets.

Not only did that leave the Bucks as the first team to win an NBA regular season game in Paris, but it gave them their 40th win of the season at a juncture when only one other team in the league has more than 31 wins, and also acted as Mike Budenholzer’s 100th win as Milwaukee’s coach.

In other words, things continue to go exceedingly well for the Bucks, a fact that almost certainly contributes to the team’s unshakeable belief and composure.

In a game where they looked second best for large spells, the Bucks managed to stay close enough to the Hornets that there was always a sense of the inevitable about what was to come.

Of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo would really up his game in the second half. Of course, both Milwaukee’s offense and defense would lock in and deliver when they really needed it.

The 2019-20 Bucks are an absolute juggernaut, and now the people of Paris know that just as well as those who’ve seen them at work at NBA cities around the U.S.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the key takeaways from Milwaukee’s latest victory.
