Undoubtedly, the Bucks made some progress this week. The offense is still not much to look at and the defense still has moments that make you scrunch up your face. But! Everything is working decently enough to string together wins, thanks in part to a steady procession of free throw attempts buoying an otherwise mediocre halfcourt offense. Credit where it’s due at the top for a much more respectable week defensively too. Ideally, these last few games get them into a rhythm and they can work out smaller kinks against middling teams before their first bout with the Celtics in two weeks.
