In a potential NBA Finals preview, the Milwaukee Bucks bested the Golden State Warriors 118-99 on Thursday at Fiserv Forum to move to 27-17 on the season. The victory helps Milwaukee keep pace with the Eastern Conference's best, including the Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat.
It was an impressive win for the Bucks and a great stepping stone after entering having lost four of their last five games by nine points or fewer. Everything was clicking for Milwaukee on Thursday night, and they'll be looking to keep that momentum going moving forward.
