Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks Become First Team to Clinch 2020 Playoff Berth

One of the NBA's 16 playoff teams for the 2020 postseason secured its spot on Sunday as the Bucks clinched a berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Milwaukee holds the NBA's best record at 48-8 through 56 games. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. are currently 6.5 games up on the Raptors for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and the Bucks are on pace for the third 70-win season in NBA history. The 1995-96 Bulls and 2015-16 Warriors are the only teams to ever cross that threshold.

Antetokounmpo is cruising to a second straight MVP award as the Bucks run away with the Eastern Conference's regular-season crown.
