While they may have come up short last night, the Milwaukee Bucks will get another chance at reaching the vaunted 60-win plateau. Tonight, they will try it against the Atlanta Hawks, who bested them last weekend on a ridiculous overtime buzzer beater from Trae Young.
Having clinched home court advantage throughout the playoffs, Mike Budenholzer has the luxury of choosing his spots. In their last game, Milwaukee rested Giannis Antetokounmpo and put Khris Middleton under a minutes restriction. After all, it’s all about the playoffs, where Milwaukee will be playing against the East’s best.
