As the ABC cameras descended on the Cream City on Saturday, something that was unthinkable for so long, the Milwaukee Bucks experience very much lived up to what has become the norm of late.
Sold out on a regular basis, a new attendance record was set with 18,290 fans in attendance at Fiserv Forum for the visit of the rival Philadelphia 76ers.
On the court, the consistency has been even more impressive, though, as the Bucks rolled off the kind of 21-point win against the Sixers that has become somewhat routine for Mike Budenholzer’s team.
For fans who watched years of mediocrity and underachievement while the Bucks called the Bradley Center home, there’s undoubtedly something a little unusual about the prospect of a Milwaukee team racking up win after win in front of their own sold out crowds, but the Bucks’ step up to the next level has coincided with their move to a luxurious new home.
