As the Milwaukee Bucks wind down their regular season, they have a golden opportunity to move up the standings heading into the playoffs.
While the Bucks put their feet up on Friday night in advance of their Saturday clash with the New York Knicks, a whole host of games with real significance for Milwaukee took place, and arguably all of the results fell in their favor.
Over the past few weeks, there has been plenty of talk about how every team in the 6-8 range wanted to avoid Cleveland, but a Cavaliers loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night means that it’s increasingly likely Cleveland will now finish in fourth place.
