The Miami Heat lost to the Toronto Raptors by 21 points, and beat the Detroit Pistons by 34 points in their last two games.
Which team will be on the court when the Heat tip-off against the NBA’s only team to win 50 games thus far this season - the Milwaukee Bucks?
While Giannis Antetokounmpo rightfully grabs the headlines, the Bucks excel in more than one part of the game:
- Best defensive rating at 105
- Most rebounds on defense with 2723
- Second in blocked shots with 406
- Least points allowed on turnovers at 993
- Least fastbreak points allowed with 702
- Second most points scored with 7999
- Second most field goals made with 2946
- Second most 3-point baskets made with 907
The Bucks follow a simple, analytically-based formula for success built around the unique talents of Antetokounmpo, much like the Golden State Warriors built their team on the scoring prowess of Stephen Curry.
