The buzz surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks has never been higher this season than it is now after they’ve cemented their first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2001 Wednesday night.
Their complete dismantling of the Boston Celtics in Game 5 gave way to a very celebratory atmosphere inside Fiserv Forum as the Bucks closed out the five-game series with very little adversity in the 116-91 win.
From that lens, it was a stark contrast to the general view people had of the Bucks only a week ago after they righted the ship in Game 2, which went on to be a 21-point blowout in the Bucks’ favor.
