PHILADELPHIA -- The last time the Milwaukee Bucks ended the regular season with the NBA's best record, they also had the NBA's Most Valuable Player.
Forty-five years later, history might be about to repeat itself.
Thanks to the latest spectacular performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo -- who finished with 45 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and five blocks in 35 minutes -- the Bucks beat the Philadelphia 76ers 128-122 in front of a sellout crowd at Wells Fargo Center. The victory clinched the best record and home-court advantage throughout the upcoming NBA playoffs for the Bucks for the first time since 1974 -- when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar claimed the third of six MVP awards in his career.
