By the skin of their teeth, the Bucks have a winning week and with it, returned to their familiar place as the second seed (though tied with Brooklyn). Turnovers remain a thorn in Milwaukee’s side, though you understand even a staggering 28 two nights ago, between the perfect storm of a near-total lack of ballhandlers and the league’s best defense at generating them. A 2-2 record since Christmas feels disappointing with the “strength” of that schedule, but given the Bucks’ issues with illness and injury, they’re lucky to be where they are.
