Having defeated the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night at Fiserv Forum, the Milwaukee Bucks are now the outright holders of the NBA’s longest active winning streak.
The Bucks have won 11 consecutive games, a feat that is by no means easily achieved in a league with the rigors that the NBA schedule possesses.
If any further clarity on just how impressive this run from the Bucks is, a closer look at the franchise’s own wider history provides the context.
Not only did the Bucks fail to put together a streak of this length en route to 60 wins last year, but they didn’t manage to put together such a run back in 2000-01 either.
