Milwaukee Bucks: Post-hiatus defensive downfall remains puzzling

Among the most prolific strong suits for the Milwaukee Bucks pre-coronavirus pandemic, their dominant defense ranked near the top of the list.

Milwaukee was a force to be reckoned with on that end of the floor, allowing just 101.6 points per 100 possessions, the best of any team in the league by a clear mile. Several Bucks earned honors for their part in this top-heavy defense pre-hiatus, most notably Giannis Antetokounmpo taking home both Defensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-Defense selection. Also, Brook Lopez and Eric Bledsoe each got the Second Team All-Defense nod.
