After their great shakeup this offseason, the Milwaukee Bucks have embraced any and all tests that come their way this 2020-21 season.

Of the consistent criticisms that have been levied at the Bucks during the Mike Budenholzer era, their dominance in the regular season didn’t lead to many tight games. For the 2019-20 season, the Bucks played a total of 74 clutch time minutes, per NBA.com/stats.

In the few late game tests that come their way this season, the Bucks have battled and frequently turned to one of their cornerstones to lead their offense when everything has ground down to a chess match.
