Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer and his staff will coach Team Giannis in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game. With a 105-92 win over the Toronto Raptors tonight, the Bucks (37-13) clinched the best record in the Eastern Conference through games played on Sunday, Feb. 3, giving Budenholzer the right to coach Team Giannis in the 68th NBA All-Star Game.
Budenholzer has led the Bucks to the best record in the NBA this season, with this being the first time since April 13, 1986 that Milwaukee has been 24 or more games over .500. The Bucks have won an NBA-high 27 games by double figures, including tonight’s 13-point win over the second-place Raptors, and are the only team in the NBA to rank inside the top five of both offensive and defensive rating.
